Mammoth: Hellas Liberty Fenrir: Freyjas Glory Hulk: Fortunes Favor Rifter: Nimea Hound: Garm Hurricane: Aske
Never noticed a pattern till I actually wrote them all out, seems most of my ships are inspired by mythology and I tend to use two word names for non-combat ships. |

I've barely started to explore the possibilities, but an organization is already emerging. Shuttles are all named after cars: Mustang, Comet, TT. My Tristan is Isolde's Sorrow, future iterations might include Mark's Revenge and Romeo's Haste. My first indie Iteron stole a page from Traveller by utilizing the reverse epithet with Bard Invictus, an homage to Vengeance Rising, and Andromeda Ascendant. I have several Navitas which seemed to all end up named like boats at the marina: Gold Watch, Lakely Suspect, Kid's Inheritence, etc. |

My Gila: DC-0812 "Maurasi". Tengu used to be called STC-000 "Mushikegi", then it died.
I tend to give my ships weird numerical designations followed by a name in quotes for some reason. Tends to be a system or constellation name controlled by the faction that the ship is. Exception being Gila as the last time I checked Maurasi was not Gurista controlled. :v
All of my stabbers are named Cklrtman.
Totally naming my Naga once it comes out Nagamanen.
I also have a vexor I named Oxidized Lead Spoon. |

After something special happens with it, or after its use.
I named my favorite Thrasher 'Luck Pusher' after I was the only one in my gang to escape an ambush.
Named my Cane 'Scherzo' (musical joke) because its first use was as a RR platform. (don't ask)
My blockade-runner Rifter is called the 'Gate Grazer'
And my Maelstrom is the 'Storm's Eye' because the first 4 Incursion sites I ran, the rats never targeted me. :P

Gerald Taric wrote: 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 "
I do something similar with my Drakes. I think the Drake resembles a spider. Its got a large ass like a spider does. Said ass contains the launchers which spew out the missiles. Not unlike the irritating hairs that tarantulas flick off of their abdomens. In the middle of the front face of the Drake are two bulges that look like a spider's fangs. It sort of has four protrusions on each side in front of the "abdomen" section, mirroring a spider's eight legs. So anyway I looked for cool spider-related names and came across the genus Theraphosa, which contains the giant "bird eating spiders". Theraphosa is apparently Greek for 'light beast', which works for the Drake seeing as how it spews orbs of light. I don't know how a spider got the name light beast. Maybe 'light' in this case refers to weight. I dunno. Whatever. I dropped the last 'a' to make it sound cooler and so my Drakes are named Theraphos III, Theraphos IV, etc... |

I name mine things like this : aņįaņ+ aņņaņĶaņĶ (like this), because during battles the fleet commander says, "Target so and so..." Kinda hard for him/her to say, "Target aņįaņ+ aņņaņĶaņĶ!" The fog of war.

i was at first using a WW2 ship naming scheme using an appropriate name per class ie my harbinger was scharnhorst and my hyperion was yamato but i have since abandoned that and now designate my ships according to class cost and the number of that ship i own. examples being BCS-103 Hull No 001 being a Battleship, 103m price at purchase and its the first one i own, my rifters are 001-003 as i own 3 of them. Thats my naming scheme now, in a way its easier but also pretty unique |

My vargur is named "empty spaces", my canes "Have a cigar", other ships have names like "Lucifer Sam", "The gnome" (tiny ships), "Crazy diamond" (my broadsword), Pigs on the wing, Brain Damage etc. Depends on the mood, the fit, and whatever name I think fits the ship.
The general theme is pretty obvious though :D |

My hyperion is called Sperm Whale.

Pff, i got so many names its close to insanity..
vengeance: Black Chocolate / Charamel filling (Cause of color) drake: i like turtles (mission T2rigged and tank ship) (Cause its all tank and no spank) nightmare: Elmos street (does this need a reason??) Abaddon: Fat Basterd (well, its a fat ship..) Noctis: Gymnogyps ( Latin name for a California condor) Orca: Free Willy (movie?) Retrievers: Mineminemine or finding nemo (movie)
Transhers and other suicide frigates get names that resemble Japanse kamikaze pilots (cause i keep losing them)
My shipnames when flying in fleet mostly are: ArrivRaisHellLeav. (go google my name + Tshirt)

Someone mentioned, that he modifies the name also depending on the fitting.
For me this is also true. If the ship in question has a special fitting, i will give the ship name some additional character like a -Ķ or + or something else. Just in order to have a fast pick up in my hangars.
Achatos VI Achatos V Achatos VI Achatos VII
Which one was the special fun-fight ship??? Therefore i modify it to for example Achatos VI -Ķ
But whatever special Characters have to be added, the "core naming scheme" remains. |

Originally started playing during the '04 summer Olympics. Exclusively used names from Greek mythology which had something to do with the ship use and/or appearance. Many were later used by CCP as the names of actual ships. Always wondered if they were creeping me...
Oh, and my big-boob alts have ship names like "Brassiere" and "Stardust Mammaries." I feel no shame. |

Target the Chinese character ship.
I name my ships all sorts of cutsie things. For example, my CEO really hates Cyclones for some reason, so I call my PVP one "Squee" CSM do you think? No matter the changes, high sec people chose the safests. Lots of stick and they will leave. Half the problem is the players in null sec; we do not want to be there with you. |

I normally use either nicknames or latin or famous ships names followed by roman numerals.
Tristan = Fatman VII Crusader = Dawn II Thorax = Dies Israe IV Merlin = Devil's ***** III Maelstrom = Serenity I Myrmidon = Nimitz II Arbitrator = Solitude VI
