Last time around I had a few Network Appliance boxes to name. The first
one was called 'toaster' by default. That evolved into a general naming
convention along the lines of 'kitchen appliances ending in "er"'.
This time around I've gone for children's TV characters, though I doubt
the likes of Sneaky-Snake and Mr Crow ever made a name for themselves
outside of Ireland...
