Not to butt in into your conversation, just wanted to drop that me and my colleagues use what we call the "clone cars" method to combat our company's naming scheme

So for example we dubbed CAPROD01 "Cappy" NASPROD01 became "Nasir" LTPDEV02 became "Luigi" (because he's always number 2)

Of course in written communication we use the full name (which is much less of an inconvenience) and we always double check in conversation or spell out full names before doing anything critical
