Recently I’ve been searching for a way how to make SQL side of Sharepoint nice and clean. Thanks to Todd Klindt, I’ve been able to achieve this without any serious problem.
In his article it’s pretty nicely described the process how to get rid of the GUID from the name of the configuration database who, as all you know, gets created in the installation process and we have no control in the beginning to change its name.
Todd’s Klindt article: “Get the GUID out of SharePoint databases”

Microsoft SharePoint “14” is now Microsoft SharePoint 2010
MOSS acronym goes away with the new name since Office is no longer in the SharePoint official name… The primary reason why we took Office out of the name – lots of folks associate the name Office with the Office client. We wanted to take the opportunity to reestablish the Office name and brand to be synonymous with the client suite. I say “Give the people what they Want” so everyone should immediately think of Microsoft Office = Office apps.
