With regards to being anom , avoiding false bans, security , and perhaps personality specific or psychological benefits ?

Im one of those perfectionistic guys and I find it hard to even think of the right names for simple stuff like this I want to write personal stuff but thats not anom enough, and it may give me a previous and unfair ban, then I could use all password like names but that doesnt take advantage of the repetition you will use for psychological benefits, then im just torn over what to do. I also want to be as anom as possible

This shouldnt be hard but it is for me what do you recommend what do educated pc users typically do and what do you personally do here?
 
Let's not devolve the conversation completely, please.

Computer names: Characters from favorite comics, movies, or books.

Network names: Other realms (see above)

Drives: Animals corresponding with letter or military alphabet ( Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc)

Email/Username: This depends on whether internal or external. If going to share with public, use email name like name.name. Internal network accounts at home just use first name.

I use characters from favorite TV shows for workstations/laptops/servers and show names for domain names. For instance my currnent (at home) domain is Babylon 5 and all of the workstations & servers are named after the most prominent characters in the show (Sheridan, Delenn, Kosh, Vir, Londo, etc.) Thing is is to pick a theme and stick with it, even it it's only a dept,floor #,Rm #,1,2,3,etc. (ex, surg321, surgery, floor 3, OR rm 2, 1st PC placed in the rm) Can walk right to it when it gets called in for service.
