I find it useful to name my computers so that I can easily identify them on the network. But that's all. I use names of fictional computers. My networks are also named after fictional "networks"

My NAS has a name, for that reason. My desktop has whatever the default Windows suggested was, because I never need to connect to it remotely.

Me too, everything that can even theoretically be connected to anything else has a name to keep file locations clear---right down to the USB sticks.

I used to work with a guy who knew all the machines in our medium sized work network by IP address. I mean to him, that was as good as a name. I guess some people are just like that - like my other friend, Sophie, who could recall everyone's phone number instantly (and also had an insanely good sense of direction/navigation ability).
