My names are all over the place.
Mammoth fit for hauling: Auroch (ancient cattle-like species used by the Norse) Thrasher fit for ratting and salvaging: Belt Runner Maelstrom with a full rack of arties: Broadside Cyclone, it looks like a: Truncheon. (I tried flanged mace, but it wasn't as sexy.) Rifter fit for exploration in lo-sec: Low Profile Noctis fit for mission salvaging: Wreck Cleaner
And my mining alt, intentionally silly: Retriever: Thumper (mining, spice mining in Dune, devices they used were thumpers, to draw off sand worms. Also, that rabbit) Mammoth: Teddy Bear Rifter for salvaging: Fleet Fox |

I rarely have a pattern that I follow, but I'm pretty picky about giving a name to a ship. Once it is named, it is named, no changing it.
As for the names themselves, sometimes I'll name the ship after the first impression I had on it's appearance.

Not really a pattern, I barely buy ships so most of them get whimsical names...
My Apocalypse is called "Primum nocere". I too owed an Apo called "Tenacious *****" My Golem is called "Poison Arrow" My Nightmare is called "Nightmare" (yay, I was really inspired that day) My Machariel is called "I wanna be your dog" (I decided the name months before i already had the ship) My Noctis is the "Warm Muffin" My Bestower (recently defunct, RIP) was the "Turtle Mama" My Orca is the "Southern Comfort"
I too owe an Arbitrator called "Sexy Platypuss", a Harbinger called "Mikuru" (last and only survivor of a row of ships named after Haruhi Suzumiya's buddies) and some other ships i don't recall. So... no affordable NEx store... no full-fledged Incarna... no casual content... no solo content... no PvE content...-á
Why should I keep paying to play this game? |

I like to stick to the RPG element when naming my ships, My Curse is called "Rooneys Right Foot" and my Pilgrim is called "chicharito" When I'm in a frigate, I needed a name that would cause concern and strike fear into my enemies, so I call the Slicer- "Walker- Texas Ranger" and the Purifier " Roundhouse kick" There it is. |

Generally whatever pops in my mind. More expensive ships get more time for naming. There might or might not be something hidden in the names depending on how creative I feel. For example the rokh Laevateinn can be either a fiery blade of destruction, or: rails do damage comparable to poking, poking is done best with a stick and laevateinn is literally translated (IIRC) a damage stick.
Small cheap ships that I won't use much typically get names such as Loltraktor, Imp's cute ballkick or simply Cormorant s (for salvaging). Medium-sized and not trivially cheap ships get names a bit less lolworthy, like my series of drakes named as Stalker and number + a letter for what purpose it is. Bigger, more expensive ships and the ones I spend a lot of time with get unique names, though a number might be still there. For a few examples there's Clairvoyance (tengu), The shriek of Nue (navy scorpion) and Wonky Donkey (charon). |

All my Nighthawks have been named Sparrowhawk
Named after the Special Ops ship in the book series Old Mans War by John Scalzi
Quote: Sparrowhawk was a quiet ship. Your average troopship is filled with the sounds of people talking, laughing, yelling and going through the verbal motions of their lives. Special Forces soldiers don't do any of that crap
Though I started doing this long before the blackops BS's were released the blackops would be a better ship to name Sparrowhawk.....if I ever get one lol |

I usually use references to other fictional starships, or AI characters, though there are some exceptions. Some have names that enable a certain progression:
Rifters are named (First to Seventh) Samurai, escalating when it gets destroyed. I'm currently on Third Samurai. Blackbird's named Ace of Spades; if I ever get a second or more, those will be Two of Spades, etc. Hurricane is Ace of Hearts; same progression as the Blackbird.
The exceptions are Last of the Brave (Tristan), the Rifter series, Repeat Four (Stabber), Valiance 404 (Condor), Xari Li Soon (Badger), Arqenaut (Osprey)..and I think my Cormorant, but I can't remember what its name actually is.
The card-based names are technically exceptions, but they are based on logical extrapolation from King of Hearts, which was of a mass-produced ship class and thus presumably has similarly-themed sister ships. Let's...just assume there's some kind of signature here, 'k? ... ... OH WAIT. Jace Errata on Twitter |

My drakes are named in accordance with the number of solokills they have achieved.
Once it reaches a suitable level it is promoted to MEGADRAKE.
Sadly I'm currently flying a drake called 0. |
