Allright. I know the ship's name are choose internaly within ccp. But well we are talking about the Tier 3 battleship, the one that will become the brother's and sisters within the stion's ship bay of the Apocalypse, the Megathron, the Tempest, and the Raven. They will be part of the mainstay of our fleets, our teeth. Even with the income of tech 2 ships, Battleships will still be our powerhorse. What I'm proposing is to let your imagination name the new litle big brother of our navy. The thread thoughts may well become wind, but the devs may find some inspiration for our new ships, they heard our wishes so far, they may hear this one 
So first, let's sum up the naming's rules of our factions. First of all for every single of them, consider our battleship's name as a legacy, our tier 3 battleships may become a revolution into our navy's tactics (ie : Scorpion), or the pinacle of our respectives school of thinking (ie : Apocalypse)
Amarr :
Our ships name so far have a mystical meaning. Think a bit about judeo/christian theology. About our actual battleship's name they came from judgment's day culture and theology (the apocalypse is the doomdsday catastrophe that put the end of the world, and as far as I remember the armaguedon is an existing hill near jerusalem where the knight of the armaguedon will be gathered for the doomsday battle against the evil forces). So you may find something in this vein. As far as I know the amarrian a revolution in our school of thinkings within the navy may not happen before two or three emperor  .
Caldari
Falcon, Merlin, Raven, Eagle, Condor. Except the mysterious scorpion nearly every ship has been bird names so far. Revolutions may happen in caldari more than elsewhere. But you may imagine that 2 revolutionary ships out of 3 battleships may be a litle much  . If you take a bird, take a predator one, the new caldari battleship will be sure powerfull.
Minmatar
The minmatar's battleships name have been so far wind name. and not the most humble one. So imagine a storm, imagine the terror that inspire you this sheer natural power. Then you might become with your tier 3 battleships name. If you want to have a link with the capital ships, look at the scandinave mythologie. Read books about viking and legends about the ragnarok. Try to find something linked with the wind or the storm to be able to make a link with the curent ship nomenclature.
Last but not Galente
Free your imagination. You can choose purely imaginated name. But my brother told me that most of these names have some gaelo-celtic consonance. Just remember that those name must inspire fear ;).
Edit and ps : I will post my suggestion in page 2 for not influencing you. And also because I did not finished mine. Especially for the galente/cald ones ^^.
