The name I choose will need to sort of correlate with it's intended department location, so for example the bookkeepers machines would all have to have a B as the start of their name. Servers would begin with A, simply so they are at the top of the list when someone is browsing the network. In my previous bird name convention that means blackbird, albatross, etc. But with only 20 machines to worry about I don't need to be much more precise than than. In any case I do have the computer description bit I can add to the machine's properties.
