Well, I have specific themes for different ship types:
non-frigate PvE ship names are related to the colour blue or water non-frigate PvP ship names are related to the colour red or fire non-frigate logistic(transport/salvaging) ship names are related to the colour green or plants non-frigate mining ship names are related to the colour brown or earth
frigate size ships are named after insects: shuttles - grey insects pvp frigates - yellow insects scanning frigates - blue butterflies

Depends on which character I'm logged in with, my main characters ships are all named in the Iain M Banks tradition, with this character I'm working my way through Daft Punk album/ song titles, my current 'cane is "Human after all", I need a drone boat so I can use "robot rock" sensibly. --CATPAIN KIRK wrote: your not black - I've seen you in that video.

i name mine to be funny when they die (as well all die in PvP sooner or later)
usealy a mockary of what the ship is for example: my hurricane = "i fly Gallente ship" or "it was AB fit" my arazu = "cloak failed" or "damps fail"
and so on btw they are not the only two ships i fly but you sould be able to see where i go with this |

My caps I name after my girl.. I'm soft like that.
Other ships, it depends. I name every drake, "**** drakes." I name my recons with elipsis or random stuff. Any cerb I own will always be called super chicken. Vagas I name after what they look like- rubber chickens.
dictors and bombers die too often to care. |

I used to give to name them "...", then just the ship type itself, like "Cynabal" for Cynabal. Keep doing it for all ships, since it doesn't tell anything about who is flying it, which is useful when there's more than just a few people in local.
Some friend gave me a Cynabal called "The Plague" though, keeping that one forever and always, since it describes Cynabals so well. |

I name my ships after local places with a bit of lateral thinking.
My mining ship is Llechwedd - which is a Welsh slate mine hereabouts My ship which goes out and looks for trouble is named after a council estate in nearby Porthmadog; Pensyflog. My Badger is called, Mochyn Daear because I couldn't think of anything other than badger. |

All my ships are named based on British warships of the same class that served in WWII.
I do, however, use a different naming strategy for my expendable ships. I name them after my ex's. That way, I never really get upset over losing them. |

Pop culture references mostly. I also use Roman numerals to keep track of how many instances of each loadout I have lost in pew. My current Rifter is named Malkovich XI, because I love flying Rifters and Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich. Music for robots, hackers, pirates, geeks and miscellaneous nerds. |

A lot of random names, but I do have some standard names:
Hurricane: Battleblade (cos its made for cutting stuff) Sleipnir: Drunk horse (cos Sleipnir was Odin's 8 legged horse from Norse Mythology, as my sleipnir has no legs, it must be drunk(legless) ;)
-The sword is only as sharp as the one who wields it! Other names: Drenzul (WoT, WoW, Lineage 2, WarH, BloodBowl, BSG, SC2 and lots more)-á |

I'm a big fan of Iain M Banks' sci fi novels about The Culture . There is an in joke enjoyed by the independent minded ships when choosing their own names and I've tended to follow the same path:
My Rifter tackle is called Gravitas Tripped, arty Thrasher is Gravitas Thrashed, shield 'cane is Gravitas Seeker and so on.
Just for giggles, whenever I'm in a rookie ship I rename it Maelstrom
Oh and whenerver I'm in my pod, I rename that Spot or Pea Pod
I know, I'm easily amused! |
