What host names do you use?


Hi fellow selfhosters!
What hostnames do you use for your systems and services?
And maybe why if it's an interesting story.
I'll start:
Steam Deck: krax
Smartphone: krix (once I get LineageOS installed again)
MiniPC: krux
Reserved for future use: krex & krox
Creative, I know. 😅 The names have no deeper meaning. The x comes from Linux. That's it.
I know some of you use god names of certain pantheons, such as Thor. But I find that boring as a lot of people are doing that.
Now let your pants down and tell me all about
your embarrassing host names!

Named mine after "objects" from Iain M. Banks' Culture Novels.
Currently I have:
- gsv
- hub
- excession
- drone
Nice and short, and map roughly to the "power level" of the hardware, so to speak.
And my Yubikeys are named after Special Circumstances agents 😄
