RE: Does this happen to you at work?

Security can be handled in other ways. Having meaningful names makes it easier for dba's supporting multiple applications to manage those databases and tie that back to what application/system they support. =20

Why is that better than meaningless names?

Consider a database hosting 3 different unrelated applicatons.

What would be a meaningful name for that database?

Meaningful names can also be considered a security risk, just as they are with servers.

Ours are named tsxx, prxx, dvxx and qaxx, where x is a digit.
