Naming Standards/Conventions

Hey all,

Bit of a dull topic :) but i was curious to see the various naming conventions you all use for network equipment across your estates globally?

I'm kicking off a mini project to revamp how my current company does it which will hopefully include more relevant information such as continent, site code , kit type (e.g. router/switch/firewall) etc. The goal is to be able to easily group items when developing scripts etc

Currently we do "company name-location-rt1/2" as an example. We have over 60 sites globally so defining a script that sets a variable for all USA kit for instance is rather difficult without knowing all the locations. I'm aware we could just add in USA/APAC/EMEA etc into the name but i thought i'd get some examples as its something that is often overlooked.

Thanks :)
