Hostnames!

You have to set up a bunch of machines, and suddenly have a mental block as to what to call them all?
Well, here's some good hostnames to get you going.

The idea is to come up with some kind of category, so that people have something to remember all the names by. Some categories: Geographical (countries, cities, parks, rivers, lakes, streets), entertainment (flintsones, simpsons, disney films, celebrities), companies (hotels, airports, local shops, restarants), astronomy (planets, comets, space missions), literature (mythology, philosophers, writers of particular generes, languages), political (presidents, judges, congressmen, terminology), science (units of measure, anatomy, instruments, scientists), industry (tools, machines, inventions, inventors), computers (terminology, programming languages, number systems).

Some hostnames I've seen, used, or expect to use..
