What should the X-Box and Playstation Servers be called?

Here's a fun/silly question: What should the X-Box and Playstation Servers be called?

The current naming scheme for servers is not really consistent. We have Holodeck, Tribble and Redshirt. Other than being Trek names, there does not seem to be a system for it. Isn't it about time that Cryptic came up with one? What could that be? If no system, what would sound reasonable? We don't want people to get envious of cool names.

So, one idea was - since it's called X-Box One, I was thinking whether it should have something related to a single digit or letter. Maybe the server could be called Q. But Q is pretty cool and powreful, and the PS4 fans would probably also have somethnig equivalent. Maybe Trelane? But Trelane might be almost obscure compared to Q. Maybe Organia? Khaless (worldly power only, but a Klingon Icon from epic tales)

Or maybe a different direction... What does Cryptic and PWE hope from this? Profit. So... How about "Prophet" and "Nagus"?

Should their test servers (if they have any) be Targ and Epoh (or Vole, to stay canonical) to mirror Tribble?

If Holdeck is the theme for the actual game servers, what else would be similar? Holosuite? Aboretum?

    Holodeck One & Holodeck 4?
    Yeah I know, really imaganative....but do they even get multiple servers? Would be kinda pointless to come up with a dedicated server name when it's literally the only one.

    Xbone & ps4 respectively. The players will be disconnected from the us the original pc players and will either totally forgoten about and disregarded or regarded as red haired step children second class citizens and dont deserve cute star trek themed server names.

    Think im being harsh? Mark my words by the end of the year itll be like a completely different planet with no coexistence. Since there will be no cross play.

    There will be separate servers. Neverwinter on Xbox One is a separate server from the PC version, right down to the fact that the Xbox One version has no foundry.

    What are the Neverwinter server names?

    considering the servers will be seperate, they could also be called holodeck as well.

    Internally, Cryptic probably needs seperate names, though.

    probably something generic like "Holo-PC" "Holo-PS" and "Holo-X"

    In keeping with the holodeck theme why not 'Sherlock' and 'Moriarty'? I'll let the console people argue over which should be which. Lol

    One good name for sure would be 'Data' because of the obvious pun only trekkies will get.

    Data & Lore might cause the same discussion as Sherlock and Moriarty. But would be fun.

    "Nimbus III" and "Tyree". Harsh desert planets almost devoid of life.

    B4, for the PS4? Lore for the X Box One? And maybe Data for the PC servers? Just a thought. Though the PC server will probably keep the same name either way.

    They may have the names decided already. It's still fun to consider such things. :)

    One question: Would the "Holo-X" get a third nacelle?
