I've ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi's quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I've broadened it somewhat to include any Greek/Roman mythological figure, but the system is definitely not as clean as it used to be.

Do you have a coordinated naming theme for your machines?

One of my nicknames is Hugo. I have a Windows, a macOS, a Debian and a Raspbian machine.

So I call them Hugowin, Hugotosh and Hugopi. The Debian machine mostly runs Plex so it is named Plexy. And my Phone is called iBobes because someone once told me that Bobes mean ass in german and i though that is incredibly funny.

FYI: Bobes does not mean ass in german. That's not even a german word.

Edit: Maybe they meant "Popo" which is closer to butt/behind in english

German here, yes it does and it is. It's not a high German word, but a dialect one (but it's present in multiple German dialects, mostly all Franconian ones, as well as Hessian and Swabian). Usually it's written "Bobbes", though.
