Generally, I name them something that loosely describes their purpose, characteristics, or hull name, yet obscures it a little and sounds enough like a generic name for a ship, so that someone using Dscan can't figure out what I'm up to from it.
Usually preceded by MSS, for Minmatar Space Ship.
Hence, the Happy Little Narwhal for my Orca, the MSS Angus for my Mammoth (because it flies like a cow), my maelstrom is the MSS Roundhouse because it smashes things with an almighty punch, and any Rupture is use is called the MSS Hernia.
For my alt, I just give them generic female names. Shirley. Jennifer. Mary. |

Most of the time I use names that have a nice sound to it and have some sort of meaning to the role I use them for (or the ship itself, as in shape, form). This of course entirely in my own perception.
And they have to be unique. No ship of mine ever has the the same name. If a ship is lost, the replacement gets a new and unique name.
examples are (with loose translations):
Grauwe Regenvlaag (Gray (Grim) Rain gust)
Gure Stormwind (Bleak Storm)
Nooitgeweest (Never Been)
Rammelbak (old clunky machine, ramshackle)
Among others....
Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format.
Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

Well, I have a system with my ship-naming, like everyone else...... as my name implies, I tend to be as vulgar as possible, all the time, 24/7..... even in-game 
Examples....
My SFI's usuall get named ********
Drakes go as **** ******
BS's for POS bashing go as **** *******
And my lovely gank-thrashers go as Chum Guzzler
SWEET, CCP censored all but 1 of my listed ship names, do I win a prize? |

I love Ginga Eiyu Densetsu. Big supply of names from that series.
I thought about naming my Dom the "Rick Dom", but I think only a few of us would get the reference, especially if something as common as Poe's Raven is missed by some here. |

I give all my ships names with Greek characters because I'm cool like that.
Atron - ++-ë-Ç+++¦-ì-ä++-é (bandit)
Myrmidon - ++-à-ü+++¦+¦-Ä++ (the same thing basically)
Noctis - -ü+¦+¦++-â-à+++++¡+¦-ä++-é (garbage collector)
Vexor - +++¦+¦+¦-Ä+++¦ (means legion, cause you know, drones)

I just renamed my favorite ship, the Taranis. Previously, they were called "Enraged Anger", but now they're named "Tied-Up Sexkitten", because it's feisty and dangerous even when webbed and scrammed. :3
My Drake is named "Pfewwhooshhhh!" because it's the sound that it makes when I violence things with it. ^_^ |

I tend to name them after mythical beings that somehow have something in common with the ship (or how I use it anyway).
So most of my droneboats are named for multiheaded creatures. I totally ignore actual existing ship names when picking names though. So I have an Ishkur named Cerberus, which might confuse some people (always a nice bonus)...
Once one gets blown up I start numbering them using Roman numerals. |

Let's see, from the current assortment of ships:
Raven, CNR - Odin, Thor
Merlins - Morgan Le Fay, Yaga Baba
Harpy - Blarpy
Drakes - Rhaegal, Viserion, Drogon
Rokh - Rammington
Tengu - Raging Queen
Noctis - Valkyrie-A
Blackbird - Don Chute
Mammoth - Baitmobile
Ferox - Not a Drake
Heron - Starchild
Coercer - Firebird
Well, you get the general idea. I usually make up the name when buying the ship, but a few have predetermined name types. For instance, a Noctis is always Valkyrie, because like the mythological women, they too scatter the battlefield for fallen warriors. The -A is a reminder, as I lost my original Noctis to sheer stupidity (basically salvaging a mission before the last spawn :D)
Next on the list of fixed names will be my alt's Retriever - I lost it yesterday in the middle of the war while I was watching Franklin and Bash and forgot to check the scout, it might end up as something like "Lawyered" or "Scoutless" or perhaps the "AFK mobile". We'll see :D |

Usually something aggressive, or visceral, or virile, not unlike Halete.
For instance, my Wolf is called Dire B!tch, a tongue-in-cheek double entendre.

I RP Amarr like a girl (amirite?) when it comes to ship names.
I name all the ships hulls uniquely, but just rename the ship when it gets blown up (ship names were always traditionally recycled when the ship was sunk, often carrying it's naval traditions with it.)
All my names are religious based, tbh I could have a code generator that makes a combination of the following :
- Lord's/Emperess'/Divine/Glorious/Holy/His/God's
- Wrath/Vengeance/Retribution/Judgement/Glory/Work/Justice
Occasionally I'll have the odd other name. Like I have a Drake called The Relentless after a semi-crap Warhammer 40K novel that for some reason I liked. |

usually gods and weapons, kinda depending on ships purpose
mining burst = 'hathor" egyptian goddess of the harvest
jags = "bastet" egyptian cat goddess
wolves = "ophois" egyptian wolf god
thrasher = "gungnir" spear of odin
vagabond = "kusanagi" famed japanese katana
prowler = "fharlanghn" the f.r. god of travels
etc
Thus Spake the Frigate Goddess! |
