Bottom line is there is probably no perfect naming scheme, but some do suck more than others. This came up on another list and resulted in a long thread, where lots of people still prefer cutesy names, but I'd recommend against them. Here is point where I contributed so I don't need to repeat it here. An ISP's naming scheme may differ slightly due to the multitude of interface conventions you might want a name to associate with, but you'll get the gist of my stance. Then browse forward and backward to see what others had to say. <http://listserv.educause.edu/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind1002&L=SECURITY&T=0&F=&S=&P=49637> John
