I take most of my ship names from various references from the Warhammer 40k (including the Horus Heresy) and Warcraft universes:
Maelstrom: Aeria Gloris - (Literally: Heavenly Glory) Name of a Black Ship that flew with the Death Guard expedition during the Great Crusade. Black Ships were used by the Silent Sisters to hunt down rogue psykers.
Hurricane: Ventus Furor II - (Literally: Wind Fury II) Not a reference to anything 40k or pre-Heresy but I like the name. First ship was lost during a bodged Blockade mission.
Scythe: Ferrus Manus - Ferrus Manus was the primarch of the Iron Hands legion. He had living metal hands and was a master blacksmith
Mammoth: Grobbulus, Nurgleth - Twin ship at opposite ends of the galaxy (sort of). Grobbulus is a fat boss in Naxxaramas and Nurgleth is an alternate name for Nurgle, Lord of Decay.
Hoarder: Mortarion, Typhon - Mortarion is the primarch of the Death Guard legion and Typhon was the captain of the first company (later known as Typhus, Herald of Nurgle)
Apothesis: Light's Hope û Named after Light's Hope Chapel. Argent Dawn base of operations in the plaguelands.
Rifter: Scourge of Angels û Pewpew'd enough Angel Cartel so it was a fitting name.
Thrasher: Trasher û Salvaging boat, picks up the Trash
Stabber: Shrike û Named after a Raven Guard space marine, specialists of hit and run warfare.
Reaper: Little Horus, Aximand û Little Horus was the nickname a captain of the Lunar Wolves (later the Sons of Horus). Named because he looked akin to his primarch, Horus. Aximand was little Horus' true name.
Breacher: Baal û Home system from the Blood Angels space marines
Probe: Mosquito û Small, fast and full of....blood? Maybe.
Wreathe: Barbarus û Named after the Death Guard homeworld.
Burst: Miner Trouble, û Play on words
Vigil: Alpharius, Omegon û Primarch of the Alpha Legion, specialists of the covert warfare. Omegon was his twin brother.
Slasher: Sanguinius û Kinda looks like it has wings like Sanguinius, primarch of the Blood Angels, did
Yes, I semi-collect ships...
