I’ve seen cute names at a couple of smaller companies

Yeah, if we had a small start-up sized network, for sure. But as soon as you go into dozens of servers it becomes unmanageable :/ I need to know at a glance what the function of a given server is, my colleagues in sysadmin need to know what rack, what layer in our archi, what os, is it prod, etc. Hence TV model style names. Don't roll off the back of the tongue, but at least we all know what we're dealing with without knowing an encyclopedia knowledge of anime / star wars / etc trivia.

I compensate by making fun (for me) jpeg to ASCII welcome messages when I connect to remote servers :P
