What are the most manageable and interesting server naming schemes being used? [closed] 17 answers

I need to create a naming scheme for my servers, but I am having a hard time come by a good category list to go by. I want something with an abundance of names to use, so as I scale my server count I won't run out.

Some that I have heard being used is

greek philosophers (plato)
planet names (saturn, mercury, venus, mars)
Mario Characters (mario, luigi, yoshi, toad)

I feel like the above categories are kind of limited. What are some good naming scheme that you use?
