Target the Chinese character ship. ...which would have me not target that one, as these are Devanagari letters, used prominently in India for example. But, to get down from my high ground there, I wouldn't be able to distinguish between other far-eastern writings either and might stereotype - I just happen to know Hindi
But it is still an interesting idea, which has potential if this is done in great numbers. Are pilot names restricted to the Latin alphabet? Don't remember right now (and derailing thread here)
Did I read on the (old) forums here someone liked to call his ships "Secondary"? FC: "Primary: Secondary!" :P

I like names related to what they look like:
Rifter - Rusty Shiv Tristan - Fat Boy Thrasher - Iron Fish Rupture - Unholy Nail Gun
Don't get me started on the phallic ships.

Tengu - Starfire Eclipse: I wanted something inspiring, noble and a little bit bombastic. This is the ship I spend the majority of my time in, so it needs to have a cool name.
Falcon - Snowblind II: My original ECM boat was a Blackbird called Snowblind. I figured that Snowblind made sense for a ship that leaves you unable to "see" properly. The Falcon was merely an upgrade.
Noctis - Raven: The raven is a carrion bird, feeding itself off corpses, and it makes less sense as the name of a battleship than it does as the name of a salvage boat.
Hyperion - Mahadeva: One of the many names of Shiva - it made sense for a nigh-invincible ship that destroys all within its reach.
Nidhoggur - Black Sun: This is my carrier, so of course it has to have one seriously badass name or it'd be an injustice. The Black Sun is a mythological and alchemical concept with various different interpretations but mostly I chose it because it sounded dark, ominous and cool without being immediately threatening.
Hurricane - Saltwater: I named this after the Chicane song, Saltwater. No other reason. I just needed a name for a battle Hurricane and it was the first thing that came to mind.
Keres - Trollboat Mk. IV: This was my first test run of the TrollKeres, a ship that can reliably take your targetting range down to beneath the Keres' orbit-and-point range. I had the idea of using it as a PvP boat for the sole purpose of trolling people by rendering them unable to warp away for hours at a time. I never got to test it.
Stiletto - LAN WTF: A Stilletto I bought during a war with Aduro Protocol. At the time there was apparently something up with Siigarii Kitawa's network, and he kept blaming his terribad PvP skills on his faulty connection, so everyone in the merc corp I was with at the time decided to rename their ships to LAN WTF.
Basilisks - Arclight Saviour and Whitewater Reclaimer: These were named along the same lines as my Tengu, but with a slightly different "feel" to them. Andreus Anthony LeHane Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

When I first started as an Amarrian pilot I got this idea about roleplay, so I named all my ship 'Empress' something, and then it just became a habit.
Harbinger: Empress' Fury Coercer: Empress' Blade Executioner: Empress' Kiss Pilgrim: Empress' Whisper
And so on... |

My Nightmare is named Festina Lente and my navy 'geddon is named Igne Ferroque. I'm pretty smug about that.

ah, generally i theme them based on their weapons or main attribute of the fit, like most of my heavy DPS amarr ships will have Fire in their name, Tanking ships will have Eternal in their name, or some synonym for those. I was on a Mirror's Edge marathon when i was buying my minmatar ships, so i ended up naming them after speedy knifey things, Blade's Edge, Switchblade, and my artillery hurricane i named Hammer Time. |

I use either song titles - my Blockade Runner is called "Superfast Jellyfish" (from a Gorillazs CD), and a SB called "The Seldom Seen Kid" (an Elbow CD title) or I use a variation on the theme of Iain M Banks' 'Culture' ship names usually including 'Gravitas':
Wot? No Gravitas?
Gravitas Deficiency
and so on
Although I do have a BS called "Me, I'm Counting" which is also from a Banks 'Culture' novel...
We need more space so that we can use the proper length ship names Banks come up with - my favourite for a BS, which doesn't fit, is "I Said, I've Got A Big Stick", and number two would be "The Anticipation Of a New Lover's Arrival"
Edit - just remembered my Orca is called "The Dirty Projector" because the band of that name have titled a couple of CD's with Orca in the title (such as Bitte Orca, for some reason - even though they are American - where exactly is Temeculah, anyway?) |

Afraid I'm not very imaginative here: some of my ships are named after the ones in Ian M. Banks Culture novels, others after the Napoleonic Wars-era Royal Navy ships -- or the mock/ironic/outright silly versions of the above (yes, there's a "HMS Kittens of Doom" in a hangar somewhere...)

My Isk generating ship is called "Rothschild" currently. My other ships follow whatever naming convention I thought was funny when I assembled it. My scimi is "Firetruck" because... that's what it looks like. Don't remember the rest, Itty V is something Phallic, ofc... |

My mining ships are named functionally, example IM-004C: IM stands for "Ice Miner" (a mackinaw fit with optimal mining), 004 is account 004 - not that my accounts have numbers in them but with 4 monitors and 6+ accounts I need to quickly keep track of who is who and which window is what. So 004 is account 004 and I know right away it's the account on the monitor on the far left. And C means that I have lost at least 2 Mackinaws previously, on that account :) Of course having numbers in my ship names automatically makes people think I'm a bot but whatever. I'm never AFK for longer than it takes to take a weewee.
My other ships are given names that loosely describe their purpose. |

It depends on my mood, had a Domi I called Scattle Prod, a Vexor called Stink Nugget, an industrial called Tantive XIII, my Jag is called Rifter, my Rifter is called Little Lamb, a Noctis called Hoover's Marauder, and a Drake called Parking Block. Not much of a pattern really. Eve Online: The only kung-fu pandas here are the ones mission grinding for RMT. |
