>> Could somebody kindly tell me what conventions and best practices are
used when naming a database server (not the database itself) and/or a
cluster of database servers? <<

The ISO-11179 Standards are for data elements names. No help there.
I guess you would have to use the prinicple of "least surprise" --
i.e. can someone in the field understand/guess the name used?

I know that geeks pick a theme like a TV show (Star Trek, South Park,
etc.). I worked at a shop that used the ethnic origins of the
personnel -- until I got there (nobody could spell "Czechoslovakia"
consistently, even me!)
