In any case, the use of identifying computers with strings (or,
vulgarly, "give them names", at least such as "the XYZ University
mainframe") was born with computing itself. Even before a formalized
conversion system between numbers and names was established, I can only
imagine that engineers using the network would already mentally identify
computers with names and remember the corresponding number by heart.
