A company we acquired has two data centers that they call Batcave and Fortress of Solitude. We're requiring them to change the names to match our company standards. In a meeting today, the VP said "We are getting rid of those Marvel Comics names." I automatically blurted out "DC Comics." So, now I'm outted as the Comic Book Guy. Oh well, I am what I am. #marvelcomics #dccomics

The question is, what are the most low-key Marvel names you could use and stay within company standards? Bonus points if you can make them rivals.

@knapjack Unfortunately, our company standard names are pretty restrictive. One letter for OS type, three for server type (database, user, presentation, etc), one numeric digit for data center/project (this may change as we accumulate companies, we'll certainly run out here), two numerics for index, one letter for dev/test/prod. So, the names give you a lot of information about the server, and are very easy to incorporate into an ansible playbook, but doesn't leave much room for creativity.
