Odd question, what do you name your ships.
I kinda name all my gallente ships after gambling terms like, Royal flush lucky 7 craps etc
and my amarr ones I name after ancient egyptian references and egyptian cities. Memphis, Luxor Hathesput LoLegion
so what are some of your names?

There's so many to choose from I haven't yet reused any of the names.

I only fly Gallente ships and I don't really have any theme. I just named them something that seems to fit their role, appearance, and/or the general Gallente naming style.
My dominix is named Monolith. My myrmidon is named Blade. My hulk is named Messis (latin for harvest or something along those lines). My salvager destroyer is named Scavenger. My navitas for running courier missions quickly is named Courier. My helios is named Seeker.
I don't go for silly names ('teh pwnerat0r'), and I try to avoid naming them after popular sci-fi ships (ie: 'Battlestar Galactica') but other than that, I just come up with a name that I think fits.

I always name my ships after stargates.
Generally it will be the stargate of the system I am currently in [e.g. Stargate (Dodixie)] or a system I have lived in in the past.
It provides me with a fast, simple naming convention, and may result in the odd person trying to scan me down missing me if they are not paying enough attention. This is my signature |

If I'm not feeling particularly witty I find myself naming my higher risk ships after pet names I have had for my ex-wives.
Does that make me a bad person?

I name a few of mine after my wow character in this fashion, i.e. my Ravens are called Ituhata's Grace, my Drake's are called Ituhata's Tail, etc. etc. I may begin doing all my ships like this but for now its just those two. When I get something like a HAC or AF i may name that Ituhata's Fury. I has originality. 
My EWAR ships are usually named Silence.
My Caracals will forever be named Pol's Voice.

Most often I name my ships after real objects; if I can't think of anything suitable I go with the name of something in-game. Around 8 times out of 10 it is a name of something sitting on my desk at the time.

Amarr: Angel names, there are enough for them fitting every ship role and size. For example Colopatiron, Kakabel or Kushiel.
Gallente: A combination of a mineral and some character class, like Jade Monk or Obsidian Knight, few exceptions, like this itty named Omber Snail.
Minmatar: Usually a combination of a disease or scavenger combined with some activity, like Carrion Crawler or Golgothian Devourer.
Caldari: Simple. Some metal and an insect, like Chromium Butterfly or Iron Mantis.
Makes it easier to come up with names that aren't all too boring.  --------

Many people have met thier fate at the hands of The Pwnmobile 3.0, my Thorax. Altho the previous 2 editions of The Pwnmobile have been scrapped (by pirate ships with lazers on them), the 3.0 version just cant lose. Also The Love Boat, my Dominix seems to do pretty well.

I go for some of the most idiotic, non-sensical and stupid names I can think of. A few examples:
Myrm = "Facist Bastard" Myrm = "Western Decadence" Vexor = "The Dirty Hippie" Vexor = "Fluid Transfer" Domi = "The Dirty Gromet" Domi = "Big Ugly MoFo" Atron = "WillWork4Food"
I have even changed the name of a ship in mid-warp while in low-sec hoping to confuse a pursuer. There is a very good reason why my bio warns people of my ability to improve their killboards.

Hulk -> Harvester of Sorrows Dramiel -> Valkyrie Thrasher -> Devil's Daughter Wolf -> Remus Jaguar -> Romulus Rifter -> Kicking Darkness Maelstrom -> Bleeding Daylight Typhoon -> Silent Lucidity Hound -> Cerberus (which makes me wonder if anyone ever mistakes it for a HAC) Cheetah -> Grey Witch Mastadon -> Narcissa
My alt has a Drake named Lemondrop, and a Kestrel named Memory Prefetch --Vel

Edited by: Jerzael on 12/02/2010 20:28:45 I name mine after marine life. Usually with an adjective attached.
Like the Purple Porpoise.
Edit: Alliteration gets bonus points, of course.

Fixed.
For my own ships I usually name then with some random word or phrase that seems appropriate at the moment.
