Caldari ships (mostly) are named after birds and mythical creatures (sometimes even mythical birds).
You cannot name the Badger II the Tayra as a Tayra is neither, and therefore is breaking the theme naming.
Now not EVERY caldari ship fits this naming scheme, but the vast majority do. And you are making it even worse by adding another out of theme name. Things are only impossible until they are not. |

Oh man, I hope this is a troll. Of all the things to rage about.
If troll 5/10, sort of creative.
If not troll, please place tears in jar and be happy with more potential ships to blow up whether or not they continue with or without naming convention. |

The Badger isn't a bird or a mythical creature to begin with.

Well, there's always this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG01ZFiQIKU
There are a couple of Caldari ship names that I do no like as they "break the mold". The Golem, for example. Also the Onyx. Neither are birds, neither are animals, one is a lump of quartz and the other is an uppity lump of clay!

They're bound to be extinct and mythical by this time period.

Id like to see a more creatures names in ships, why not have a panda.

I recall numerous new ship dev blogs with references to one Dev in particular - because his suggested name had been rejected again. I think the removal of the Mks from the Industrials represented an ideal opportunity...

like the description of the Wolf, which states that is inspired in a creature of "legend", yeah it has sense that 20000 years in the future, very far from Earth, people still remembers certain animals like legendary creatures..... |

This is specifically noted in the description of the Wolf:
Named after a mythical beast renowned for its voraciousness, the Wolf is one of the most potentially destructive frigates currently in existence. Ishtar Starfire: As a pure caldari pilot i feel that with the deployment of the new tier 3 battlecruisers you have given an unfair advantage to everyone except caldari pilots. an example would be like giving a fat kid a whole cake while the skinny kid has to watch and get nothing.

Actually... perhaps the OP is Badgering the devlopers.. not trolling them? (or at least trying)
Onto another tack of reasonging with a badgerer:
Anyway.... here is a bird very close to a Tyra (missing a few letters):
