Let's be a little bit curious: How do you name your ships and why?
I personally like it to use the names of semi-precious stones with a little modification. For example i name all my drakes "Saphiros". At the end i put a Roman numeral and rise it, if i lost my previous one or buy another Drake. Thus it resembles to for example " Saphiros IV " |

Famous historical or mythological weapons and mythological creatures. Or just the name of the hull when I'm feeling lazy. Same loadouts get roman numerals. |

I named my Drake Slowpoke since it's slow and lazy (and i secretly want it to be pink).
Don't wory only caldari and galente ships get the pokemon treatment. Other than that i name after their look. |

I use a four-letter abbreviation that tells me the fit (makes life easier when you have 20 Incursuses and 20 Vexors for different purposes in the hangar), followed by a proper name;
Incursuses are named after the knights of the Round Table (the lance, get it) Vexors according to maori gods (Vexor face reminds me of maori tattoos) Myrmidons are latin names of sea horses Dominixes are synonyms of power and that sort of DOMINATING stuff
Other ships are more random as I don't have piles of them, but I like to have a naming convention for the bread & butter ships.

I am all over the place with the names of my ships but, generally, go for something amusing, like my Obelisk is named Badonkadonk. But, my POSes are themed. Each POSes mods are named after the characters and places in different SciFi shows. One is for Star Wars, one for Star Trek, one for Firefly, etc. |

I name them on a whim when I assemble the ship.
My Thanatos is named Pale Horse I have a mammoth named Not Empty Quotin My Hound is named Cerberus and my Cerberus is named Dog of War
I have a hurricane named Nemesis and another named Blunderbuss, and a Drake named Avante.
Somewhere I have a thrasher named Devil's Daughter. Unsub or don't.-á I don't care what your reasons are, and neither does anyone else.-á Just click the button and go away - or don't. |

name of the hull
if people use dscan they see the name of the hull anyways, trying to fool them may be amusing but is imo pointless. |

Usually I name my ship whatever the hull is.
I name my drakes 'Wednesday'
Canes I usually name 'slick'
Myrmidon I call bastard because I usually fit autocannons on it, but lately my gallente boats are all named 'winter's coming'

No set in stone methodology.
I have a Tengu named Windowlicker, because herp missile spam.
But then I have a Kronos named Ignie Ferroque (Fire and Sword).
And there's the Phobos I named Joy Toy (because pod-mails are gonna show implants, squeeeee!).
A nemesis named 'Squinty'. Don't ask. I said don't.
Really it boils down to a name that amuses me, and may or may not reference something about the ship itself. |

This is a fun subject.
I tend to name Haulers and Barges after Dave Matthews Band songs (don't know why) examples like
IG-Still Water IG-The Maker IG-Everyday
Combat Vessesl get harsher names
My WH Abaddon is named IG-Fist of God and before that my WH Armageddon was called IG-Bonecrusher before its untimely demise at the hands of a Zealot. I have a K-space Geddon called Creeping Death as well that is the first and only BS I bought. I usually build them now if I can.
The newest addition to my personal fleet is a Bhaalgorn named Diabolus Meretricis (Latin for Devil's *****)
I usually put IG- in front of my ships to to denote that they are mine, it gets a little confusing in ship arrays in WHs if I don't. |

I name them rather randomly, whatever comes to mind that seems to fit.
The only one whose name has a purpose is my Inquisitor for salvaging and looting those who die on station. Its the Salvage Reclaimer. |

I got bored a few years back and decided (no idea why) that all my shipnames had to end in "ion"; they all had to be unique (no second use) and they all had to be valid OED words.
Still at it after 3+ years but I have to say its getting more challenging by the day |

A "license plate" and "name" system.
Examples are:
Hulk: HK-3007-A "Roath"
Noctis: NS-3116-A "Lienpher"
Comet: NC-7021-B "Sionnach"
Tengu: TU-5343-A "Eolas"
and so on and so forth. |
