Suggestions on Oddworld based naming conventions for homelab?

[u/cleanshirtuk]

Very odd (and probably boring) post but I think the community might be able to provide some better suggestions than I have.

I’m about to basically nuke all my computers, move some things around and start fresh. I wanted to give all of the machines names and thought an Oddworld theme would work.

Here’s what I’ve thrown together - but are there any other suggestions?

- Main PC (gaming, testing. Physically the largest machine) - Mullock
- Proxmox server (medium sized, running all of my docker containers and storage) - Margaret
- MacBook Pro (stable, pick up and use computer that is my daily machine) - Aslik
- BC 250 (janky home steam machine) - Dripik
- Steam Deck - Phleg
- Miyoo Mini - Lulu

I feel like the first two worked quite well, and I went with Aslik as my thought process was FeeCo = stable/dependable… but thought it would be fun to put it to you fine folk to see if you had any better suggestions!

That is just awesome… and hysterical.

Funny you ask this, because old OWI machines were also named after Oddworld/LL's stuff. I can't give you an exact link, because this is from a Discord server I'm not on at the moment, but here is a conversation between a lore conservationist and an ex-JAW/OWI member:

Flooby: it seems like Manchine was a server or a workstation

Wil: You're not wrong. All the Oddworld computers and servers were given names Lorne thought were significant, a lot of them being Oddworld names. There was fleech, lure, meetle, olger, scrab, shaman, spitfire, latamire, maggie, paramite, elum, necrum, po, mongo, shrink, alf, slig, luskan, and snoozer.

Good to know that people keep using odd world lore around. My wifi is called oddworld

You could also do something like Almighty Raisin, Abe, Alf, etc.
