Rivers and/or bodies of water.  You'll note in my headers 
(amazon.hostpond.com).  I try to find interesting water body names in 
the state or country where the customer resides.  Or possibly even where 
the customer grew up.  I often learn interesting regional facts in the 
naming process, and I get to know my customer better too.

Not necessarily entertaining.  But it reminds me to think of nature and 
history during times when I'm overly focused on technical stuff.
