At home I've always used characters from the SciFi series "Blake's 7".
Not as popular here in North America as where I'm from so the names are
often lost on people :)

Names used include zen, blake, orac, cally, avon, dayna, and vila.

My wife's last PC was iggy.  Don't ask me why :)  Her new laptop quickly
got the nickname junior.  It stuck and is now the hostname.
