Rather than choosing at random, I like to pick names that have some relation to the device in question, e.g. "Pichu" for a tiny mobile device, "Snorlax" for the big slow machine, "Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres" for three successive powerful servers, etc. What's extra fun about Pokemon, if you're familiar with the franchise, is that you can pick names based on generation, with older generations for e.g. older devices, and if you're _really_ familiar with the franchise you could even pick names based on types or other characteristics.
My company uses codenames like this for our services and it drives me insane every time I have to go look up which is which or mentally convert to the name it should have been given.
Very similar here. PCs get Pokémon region names (MacBook is Johto), non-PC Ethernet connected devices get Professor names, all other devices are Pokémon.
