Yes, giving a names to databases and servers is quite difficult,
because there are lot of them. It's like to be a husband in Orient
with 50 wifes and 150 childs. Where I can get names for all of them ?
:-)
My naming conventions for databases are TEST0 ... TEST9 (I know, not
very creative) for ordinary test databases and STBD0 ... STBD9 (soon
to be dead) for test databases using as crash && (sometimes) recovery
scenarios platforms. Advantage is that I know not to using TESTx
database for these purposes and that's important, because my only
backup technique is saving of CREATE command scripts.
Even bigger problem I have with servers, last one was named NEW, just
because nothing more suitable come to my mind.
