I’m installing new arrays at the office and I’ve now got seven of them. I’m looking for an original, but still easy-to-remember set of names for them.
So far, the front-leader is the slightly trite Seven Dwarf’s names.
Other things that come in sevens we’ve come up with are the seven days of the week, beautitudes & deadly sins.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
House of the Seven Gables
