Nice, I've used mountains (Denali, Everest, Olympus, etc) in the past to
name systems.  Used profanity for awhile to name machines, there's
really quite a bit of it, and every language has it's own set, giving a
large pool to choose from.  Sadly, when outages occurred, it was
somewhat difficult to determine which machines were down, and this was
discarded.
