The naming scheme of physical systems in the hackspace (hostname) is "people involved in computing, mathematics, or engineering" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pioneers_in_computer_science] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PARC_(company)#Distinguished_researchers].  This includes pioneers in similar relevant fields.  Please note that pronunciation and spelling difficulties may rule out names like Dijkstra, Kay and Hoare.
