S-xxx-yyy-zzz01
where xxx is the company name abbreviated to 3 letters, yyy is the office location in 3 letters, and zzz is the purpose:
S-PDG-LON-DC01 For domain controller 1 in the London office of paradigital.net UK
Anyone who names a computer/server/workstation in an office environment with a non-descriptive naming convention is a choad of utmost magnitude.

How about volcanoes?
My network is called magma,
Servers are named after volcanoes.
Ie Krakatoa
Vesuvius
Taupo
Colima
And so on.
Whats the prize
Thats at home btw, depending on the business size you should really give the server names that reflect what they do and such.

Yeh, what is the prize???
We were just implementing a convention based on LOTR when I was made redundant.
I did name the new dev SQL Server Theoden before I left.
Whilst I can see where paradigm is coming from, if your network isn't that big (and ours wasn't) then I can't see the problem in following any naming convention of your choice.
My home machines are all named after WW2 fighters: Spitfire, Typhoon, Lightening and Komet. Think I'll be following this for a while

How about You******* (after the camel in Pyramids)
(Hint, it begins with 'b')
Or something suitably offensive that when asked what the name of the server is a reply will result in lots of abuse.
Or even "HEX", like the computer prone to spurting out such gibberish as seen below in my sig (Shamelessly robbed from Mr Pratchett)
