Network Device Names?

No real theme here either.

2.4ghz SSID - Skynet
5.0ghz SSID - Area51

Systems are the username + type, aka jason-desktop, kristi-laptop, etc.

I used to do themes for my naming conventions but then I began to grow frustrated when I am in the router UI trying to assign DHCP reservations and whatnot, so I backed off of it and been doing it this way ever since.
 
Wifi SSID's:
GarvNet 2.4
GarvNet 5.0
GarvNet-Mobile is my other router which I let people connect their phones/tablets to if they want. It's my "guest" network in a sense, because it's heavily throttled and on its own subnet.

Device/Computer names, I keep simple.
Main Desktop: MGARDESK
Laptop: MGARLAP
Phone: MGARCELL
Home Domain Controller: GARVDC
Home Domain Name: GARVEY.LOCAL
Domain\Username: GARVEY\Mike
Home File Server: GARVFILE
HP printer: HPPRINT
