I, Lord Vaari, earl of Sosan VII, founder and despot of the Imperal Pharmacy, self proclaimed prophet, golden mountain, worlds most beloved hero, carrier of the heaven's light, speaker of unquestioned truth, teacher of faith will usualy give name which have two part.
If ship is owned by my corporation, it has IPS (Imperial Pharmacy Ship) on first of its name. Then it has usually name which is biblical, or inspires its captain to perform one's duty well, and it is also suited for the ship. Very often, if you only know the name, you can tell what kind of ship it is. IPS Cargoliner, IPS Ironworks, IPS Oppressor, IPS Furious
If ship is owned by me, it usually, but not always have two carefully chosen names, which are ofter biblical, or atleast heroic and also fit for the ship class.

I always pick names that make my Alliance members laugh.
"Palmela Handerson" "Gwyneth Palmtrow" "Hand Solo"
My Iteron V is "Space Dildo"
My Gas Harvester is "Sir Farty Pants"
I was let out of an ambush/point because they thought my ship name was hilarious. |

Mostly names related in some way to the ship, and 'related' may not always mean 'directly' (i.e. in-jokes /w old friends).
Shuttles - Dolphon, Eagle, Vader, etc Various Amarr ships - Thrint Alpha/Beta/Gamma/etc (though the mining frig I started calling 'Gonzo') Rupture - Teldin Moore Various mining ships - Clementine Industrials - Traffic (I find this particularly fitting)
My Thrashers I started calling Laumer, cannot remember why now...
I may have come here from Myst Online, but that does not make me any less bloodthirsty than the average Eve player.
Just more subtle.

Nice score with that Brutix.
My ships are usually named in reference to their shape, a notable feature, their function, or some combination, such as a Tengu named "UglyLegoMonster". Your stuff goes here. |

As I am in school to become an RN, I name all of my ships after communicable diseases (or in the case of my Scimi, after drugs that help diseases). Each fit gets its own name (hence why my 3 cane fits are named Ebola, Tetanus, and Cholera).
Its getting harder now, since I have about 15 active fits, and I want names people will recognize (who here knows what "Babeosis" is?). |

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 "
Whatever strikes my fancy really, from mythology, s-f, etc., etc.. What I particularly like doing is numbering them with Latin numbers, incrementing as I lose them, so I have, e.g.:
Drone Queen IV Sanguinary IX (lost a lot of Myrms in fail PvP lol) Ragamuffin II Kerux III Oenone III

I named my Rorq "Nostromo" and my Thanny "Sulaco" (I've always loved the Alien movies and didn't have to think very hard what I wanted to name my biggest ship!)
My Hound is "K9P"
My Domi is "Poop Shoot"
My CNR is "Herp" while my alt's Noctis is called "Derp"
So yeah, completely random.

Assorted Frank Zappa song titles Assorted 1980s Riot girl band names Richard M. Nixon The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Unless its a joke name (IE Diemosts called HMS Dildozer etc) Latin stuff for Amarrian ships, titan names from WH40K sound cool for Amarrian ships IMO. Cool SciFi ship names or real ships for everything else usually. |

I use Latin words because they have deep meaning when used well, and they **** people off who don't know latin.

And other cool things. "Man, you aren't actually trying to do this, right? Nobody is that stupid right?"

Frigates are always "kittens", with names like Bonzai Kitten, Faster Pussycat, Thundercat etc. Cruisers have no fixed pattern yet . Battlecruisers are named after AC/DC Songs, like: Whole Lotta Rosie, Hell's Bells etc. I was going to use Metallica Songs for the Battleships, but I found that the names were often too powerful for mere battleships- like, "Harvester of Sorrow" has to be at least a dreadnought, not a lousy little geddon..... |
