What I want to know is WHY is the Drake named after a damn duck? It's more of a box turtle with it's usual fitting.
I always thought it was named after a drake not a duck. 
Here's my contribution. Hauler names: "Dicey, real dicey", "Dicey's Evil Twin", and "Orville Redenbacher".

I go all out on ship names!
Harpy - Bok Bok!
Hawk - Bok Bok!
Crow - Bok Bok!
Raptor - Bok Bok!
Raven - Bok Bok!
Rohk - Bok Bok!
Nighthawk - Bok Bok!
Vulture - Bok Bok!
Every other Caldari ship named after a friggin bird - Bok Bok!
I can see some of the ships being "bok bok" but the Drake would most certainly be "Quack Quack" and the vulture would be more of a "Craw Craw", the Eagle would be more of a "Screeeee", as would the raptor.
Also, while I did notice caldari ships tend to be named after animals (mythical or real) I never noticed just how many of them were birds:
In fact, the only frigate that ISN'T named after a bird is the Griffen
O'rly? Not a bird, but close enough:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffin
Now, for the ship names:
Armageddon: Smelter
Abaddon: Beamrider
Nightmare: Your worst...

Marcus TheMartin's guide to ship names
1.Naming your Raven "never more" is a podable offense
2.Naming your Vagabond "bond vagabond" is no longer cool
3.Naming your ship after anything in any form of media is a failure on your part
5.Naming your ship "RAAAAAAAAPE,dongs,tentacles,etc." is a failure
6.Naming your ship "primary" is not funny unless your entire fleet names their ships primary
7.Naming your ship in latin is uncreative
8.Naming your ship in japanese in uncreative
9.Naming your ship in any fotm language is uncreative
10. If you think your ships name is funny it probably isn't.

.
Hyperion : Heart of Gold (THHGTTG)
MegaThron : LongShot (Ringworld, Larry Niven)
Dominix : egraL druT. Sorry, but it looks like it.
Imicus : Huckleberry (Toon bloodhound)
Thorax (salvage cruiser) : Golden Retreiver.
Iteron IV : 8 Inches. (Sorry ladies). Again, because it looks like one.
Still looking for 2 decent names for my Battlecruisers (Brutix and Myrm, both used for warfare links).
I'm thinking of "Napoleon" and 'Ceasar', but not too sure yet.
