The FCC's database server could have been named "michaelpowellsucks", but 
they elected to call it "svartifoss", instead.


The name itself means nothing externally.

"Alpha", "beta" and "gamma" are somewhat common.


At a site where I own three servers, one is named "uranus", another is 
named "myanus", and the third is named "ouranus".

The very first was named after the planet of the same name.

When the second and third were added, the name of the first was modified 
to be somewhat in the spirit of the movie "Yours, Mine and Ours", with 
associated prefixes of "ur-", "my-", and "our-".

This, of course, left the impression that "-anus" is the common naming 
feature.

Now that nine similar servers are on the site, I will likely be changing 
these to adhere strictly to the names of the planets: "mercury", ..., 
"uranus", ..., and "pluto".
