Naming standards are the ultimate bikeshedding event. Everyone has an opinion and camps develop for various schemes.
The last time this happened, I happened to be in a position of influence for the final decision for naming standards. We took an approach designed to piss off everyone... license plates. We used sequential numbers prepended by a pronounceable string, and random words, selected by a system, for internal services.

Overall, everyone is pretty happy with it. YMMV.
