The first big Unix workstations site I worked at, at the same time as this RFC, the head sysadmin started naming SPARCstations after vacation destinations she liked (`cozumel`, `stcroix`, etc.).
I guess it brightened up the all-gray cubicle farm.
My hostname idea was to name network printers after trees (e.g., `pine`, `elm`).
You can also make the hostname work with the FQDN. I once got the hostname `ilove.mit.edu`. I later got them to rename it to `ihavealovehaterelationshipwith.mit.edu`.
