Tengu - Starfire Eclipse: I wanted something inspiring, noble and a little bit bombastic. This is the ship I spend the majority of my time in, so it needs to have a cool name.
Falcon - Snowblind II: My original ECM boat was a Blackbird called Snowblind. I figured that Snowblind made sense for a ship that leaves you unable to "see" properly. The Falcon was merely an upgrade.
Noctis - Raven: The raven is a carrion bird, feeding itself off corpses, and it makes less sense as the name of a battleship than it does as the name of a salvage boat.
Hyperion - Mahadeva: One of the many names of Shiva - it made sense for a nigh-invincible ship that destroys all within its reach.
Nidhoggur - Black Sun: This is my carrier, so of course it has to have one seriously badass name or it'd be an injustice. The Black Sun is a mythological and alchemical concept with various different interpretations but mostly I chose it because it sounded dark, ominous and cool without being immediately threatening.
Hurricane - Saltwater: I named this after the Chicane song, Saltwater. No other reason. I just needed a name for a battle Hurricane and it was the first thing that came to mind.
Keres - Trollboat Mk. IV: This was my first test run of the TrollKeres, a ship that can reliably take your targetting range down to beneath the Keres' orbit-and-point range. I had the idea of using it as a PvP boat for the sole purpose of trolling people by rendering them unable to warp away for hours at a time. I never got to test it.
Stiletto - LAN WTF: A Stilletto I bought during a war with Aduro Protocol. At the time there was apparently something up with Siigarii Kitawa's network, and he kept blaming his terribad PvP skills on his faulty connection, so everyone in the merc corp I was with at the time decided to rename their ships to LAN WTF.
Basilisks - Arclight Saviour and Whitewater Reclaimer: These were named along the same lines as my Tengu, but with a slightly different "feel" to them.
