RFC 229

STANDARD HOST NAMES ✨

okay bestie, let's start with the vibe check 💅 This doc is by Jon Postel of UCLA-NMC (Computer Science dept) 🎀, it's numbered #229 with NIC 7646 attached, and it's filed under category D.3. It was dated 22 September 71 🦋, it's related to #226, and it obsoletes None 🙈 so nothing old gets replaced here.

Jon is suggesting 8 character names 🌸 and he drops a whole list of them, matched up with site numbers. Some sites also get an alternate name, which is giving two-names-one-host energy 💖
