What is your machine naming scheme? (startrek.website)

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?

Highest mountains on Earth. Maybe not the best idea, since it took me a while to memorize Kangchenjunga.

I do Greek goods and Titans which leads to a similar problem. But I just love that my main proxmox host is namend after a Titan with many arms.
