What do you call your ships?
My ships:
La Isabela (Ishkur)
La Kassin (Catalyst)
La Chanelle (Navitas)
La Betty (Imicus)
La Belladonna (Not yet, but some day I'll name a very special ship this)
La Aurora (Some day I'll name an Interceptor)
You connoisseurs out there might recognize these names. For those who don't, well, you may stick with your Jenna Jameson and whatever the other "pros" are called.

I name all of mine after British Navy ships:
The Resolution
The St David
The Vistafjord
The Exeter
etc...
Trouble is, I tend to go through 'em a lot faster than Her Majesty's finest do, so I'm starting to run out of names!

It depend upon my mood, and also the feeling i have to the ship.
My Domi is named "Le Pandora" from the Crimson SKies well known Carrier of the same named.
My Thorax is "L'Atlantis", french name for the most famous Corsair's Ship (Albator is the name ;))
Also have : The Taer of Osiris (Ishkur), The Flame of Orion (Enyo), The Cristal Phantom (Celestis) and other ships named the same way ;)

I honestly have too many ships to list off all the names, I do have some favorites.
Mercurial Wing (Thorax)
Strumpet's Revenge (Brutix - former incarnations: Cursed Strumpet, Uncursed Strumpet, and Blessed Strumpet)
4 20 (Blackbird)
Scalper & Calmly Travelling (Punishers)
No, After You (Exequror - former incarnation: After You)
and lastly, my latest addition to the collection, the Dominix "Sufficient Elbow".
I get a little too attached to my ships, I think.

I used to name my ships like this:
Sermon of Wrath
Oration of Rage
Litany of Fury
Invocation of Enmity
Recitation of Ire
Iteration of Acrimony
Anyone here remember Descent Freespace 2? That was a wonderful game, and I must say their ship names are absolutely top notch. Uses prominent names from greek mythology, somehow it's got a powerful ring to it. I have since renamed my ships like this:
Ulysses
Valkyrie
Hercules
Athena
Ursa
Centaur
Poseidon
Fenris
Leviathan
Arcadia (for indies only)
Elysium (for indies only)

My first Raven was: 'Ask questions later', which is how it came to be my first Raven.
