History of server names?

Recommended Posts

I searched the forum, wiki, and even used Google.

What I'd like to know is if there's a history behind the server names? Are they characters from a book, movie, song?

No real good reason, as it's just something that made me curious.

The names themselves are just made up. There's no significance to them, the mods and admins just vote on the names.

 

There is a naming convention though:

  • Physical hardware has a name ending in 'ie', hence Stevie, Charlie, and Eddie. There's also one called Katie, but it's only for internal use (runs a personal project for the company founder).
  • The VMs on the hardware end in 'y', hence, Ricky, Johnny, Tommy, Cody, (and soon Lily).
