One well-known cell uses 'vice'.

My fileservers are apple, cranberry, grape, tomato, orange, date, fig, 
plum, apricot, cherry, strawberry, pumpkin, kiwi.

Another cell I know has servers named ronald-ann, rosebud, and reynelda 
(with aliases ra, rb, and rc).

Then there's the grand.central.org cell, whose servers are named 
penn.central.org, blueberry.srv.cs.cmu.edu, grand-opening.mit.edu, and 
andrew.e.kth.se.

At yet another site I know, it is possible to tell by looking at a 
machine's hostname whether it is an AFS fileserver, but only if you know 
how to parse their rather cryptic hostnames.
