Though I can't imagine this is going to be particularly constructive, I've spent a lifetime on the lookout for any opportunity to brag about the names I've given various hardware devices because they're quite funny.

Perhaps - for end users/non-admins - it'd be best to point first to a list of "favorite" names??

Here are my favorites of mine, which have all notably performed the function of a unique system name quite admirably:

- Gravel (iPhone 8 Plus)

- Jorts (iPhone 12 Pro Max)

- Hildur (Desktop PC)

- [Kudzu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudzu) (iPad Pro)

- Winterkorn (Wireless OBD2 Scanner)
