Yes - but just for the network:

I have redcase (as it has a red case), lappy (as it is a laptop), server (my main server), Beta (was for beta testing, now just machine number 2, changes use as required), and R2 (for server testing).

But I am going to re-create my network soon...

they are ID's more than names.

Mercury is my newest PC. All new (newly formatted) PCs will be planets, with the drives as moons (not necessarily the planet's moons, just cool sounding ones).

I'm not into astronomy, but I thought it would be a good convertion for my handful of boxes.

They have pretty generic names...

- The Dell

- The Laptop

- My Computer (everybody else calls it the square box... ehm mac mini)

And then the 5 really old computers from the late 80's, early 90's that don't even work had names.

92-1, 92-2, 89-1, etc... just pretty much the first number was the year, and the second was how many we got that year. It was easier to network them this way.

All the systems in my house are networked so they need to have names. I decided on:

DeathStar (my PC, server) and Kingston (family PC). They're on the/my Mustard network.
