When we named nightshade, the theme was "poisonous plants".
Current servers (from https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Servers ) * Hemlock * Nightshade * Willow * Zedler (Not a poisonous plant, but names after Johann Heinrich Zedler, who was an 18th century German encyclopedist. This is in keeping with the WMF naming scheme.) * Yarrow * Vandale (As above, but Van Dale was Dutch.) * Clematis (Poisonous plant, not an encyclopedist)
Short, usable, and thematic (poisonous plant) names might be: * Azalea * Daphne * Digitalis * Foxglove * Hellebore * Holly * Lilly * Oleander * Privet * Wolfsbane * Yew
"Daphne", "Holly" and "Lilly" have the distinction of also being female names, which would give us another opportunity to confuse those trying to understand our naming schema.
I'm rather fond of Azalea personally, though I think someone reminded me recently that "nightshade" was my suggestion, so I'll sit this one out.

I'm sure someone came up with a name beginning with X, or am I just imagining it?
Some more ones that I am submitting are: * Narcissus (one of my favorites) * Larkspur * Iris (one of my favorites) * Rhubarb * Yew * Elderberry * Mistletoe

In regards to filling the "X" name in line with Poisonous plants, I found this list from Cornell: http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/plants/index.html
I knew the common name would not produce an "X" letter name, but perhaps its scientific name would:
The plant known as "Cocklebur" -- its common species is poisonous to animals and livestock. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocklebur
It's genus name is Xanthium.
Anyway, just offering a suggestion.

Although it's not poisonous, how about Yggdrasil, keeps (most) of the DB servers starting with Y :D

The server should be named "rolandburris" because I said so.

I don't like Xanthium as a server name.
I prefer wolfsbane myself. Xanthium sounds like a CPU's intra-company codename... :)

You're thinking of Intel Xeon, obviously.
I still think it should be named "rolandburris". One word, all lower case.
