Right, so i did some searching to find the last couple of words that you weren't able to find a description of in your otherwise excellent list Silvitni.
After i had been searching around i found a quite nifty list already compiled by Storm Phoenix here, but for the sake of freeing you from all the bother of clicking the link, i'll list the few that you didn't include. (aswell as add a few alternative descriptions not found in the beforementioned list)
Megathron, Megatron, Metatron:
According to Storm Phoenix Megathron simply means "large throne"
But in fact, "Megatron"¦, the disambiguation of Megathron that Silvitni mentioned, is the name of the throne room. I.g. the room in which Odysseus slaughters the suitors upon his return.
Catalyst
Something that causes something significant to happen, often used in chemistry as a term for a chemical which is used to speed up the reaction between two other reactions, without being consumed in the process itself.
Atron
Storm Phoenix: it is likely it is derived from the Latin "Patron"
Imicus
Storm Phoenix: it is the latin word for "foe, enemy or opponent"
Maulus
Storm Phoenix: No idea, probably derived from "maul"
It is also possible that it stems from the latin word "Malum", having roughly the same meaning as the english word "Malice"
Vexor
Storm Phoenix: From the Latin word "vexo", meaning to annoy or harrass.
Exequror
Storm Phoenix: From the Latin word "exequor", meaning to follow to the end, or the grave
Brutix
Storm Phoenix: From the Latin word "brutus", meaning dull, stupid or slow
Tristan
Storm Phoenix: a Knight of the Round Table and tragic hero of the medieval tale Tristram and Isolde.
Also the word itself means "sorrowful" in Latin.
Iteron
Storm Phoenix: From the Latin word "itero", meaning to repeat.
Also this is used as a chemical term when talking of repetitive sequences in the origin of plasmids involved in the control of replication.

Gallente:
Agamemnon
I don't know how long the Gallente (French descendants) hold a grudge but I'd wager that they wouldn't name a ship after one that took part at Trafalgar on the British side. 
The name's from Greek mythology (or history, whatever)...so...idunno. I guess you're right. Wonder if the Gallenteans would remember/care that much tho :P
About a sea creature for a Caldri BS or somethin....I like Barracuda.

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 armauedon 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  .
It's been a long time since I've been even remotely interested in Judeo/Christian mythology, but I vaguely recall that the place/mountain where Armageddon is to be fought is named 'Megiddo'.
That's a perfect name for a shiny new icon of Amarrian might.

T3 Amarr bs : Cherub
Edit : From Wikipedia
Quote:
Descriptions in the Bible vary, but in general all describe cherubim as winged creatures combining human and animal features. In the book of Genesis cherubim are described as guarding the way to the Tree of Life, east of the Garden of Eden armed with flaming swords (Genesis 3:24): "So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life."
Killing the Minmatars since 22480 AD |

Amarr
Armageddon --> Apocalypse --> Revelation
Caldari
Scorpion --> Raven --> Sabretooth
Gallente
Dominix --> Megathron --> Zeus
Minmatar
Typhoon --> Tempest --> Tornado
Of course I think all of these are the best

For the Caldari, I like the sound of Sparrow. Sounds sweet and innocent at first so it's victims are tempted not to take it seriously. :)
Has more of a ring than 'Pidgeon' or 'Blue tit'.
Going to have to redo this when I get my Ferox :( |

Amarr: Leviathan, Kali, Shiva, Tiamat, Kraken
Caldari: Cobra (reminds me instantly of Elite), Shrike, Wolverine, Python
Minmatar: Maelstrom, Rampage, Skadi, Jormungandr, Ragnarok
I'll go with the Amarr Kraken, the mythical sea creature controlled by Poseidon.
Caldari: The Python reminds me of Elite too, police used them I think, also the Shrike was in Elite .
I'd prefer to see some real predator name. Caldari ships seem to be more geared to be missile platforms so maybe a predator that strikes from a distance. Cobra sounds good as it reminds me of a spitting cobra that blinds victims before either striking or slithering off. Although I think Vulture would be more fitting since Pirates seem to prefer Caldari ships
Minmatar: They already have a Ragnarok, the new Titan class. I'd agree with Tsunami, it would also be a fitting tribute to all those who died in the recent Tsunami in the Far East.
Gallente: Hermes was just a Greek messenger god, Mercury was his Roman counterpart. I thought immediately of Thor, the Greek god of thunder/war but it would get confused with the Thorax (Which is also a term used for part of the body). The Roman counterpart Mars doesn't sound right either. Reading through, I thought Erinyes - the furies sounds good though and if fitted right, could probably suit the name.

There was a play a while back who was very popular with his corp / alliance and some of the forum hogs. He passed away and it was suggested that a ship be named after him.
His EVE name was RAMPAGE...
Sounds like a great name for a new ship
Quoted for being a great Idea. I'd fly a Rampage if there was one. He was a cool guy.

If the Amarr are running according to some sort of bastardized crucifixion theme, perhaps a reference to the Spear of Destiny, Moira is among what's left.
Naos refers to a temple.
Analipsis refers to an ascension.
Ouranos refers to heaven.
Makaritis refers to a decedent, though it might be an adjective.
Eunoia: The persistent suspicion that the universe is secretly conspiring to quietly improve one's life. |

at a little threat of a slight hijack, the thoughts about what they'd be called led me onto thinking about what they'd look like too.
so...
and from my initial ideas, I sort of wondered what a caldari Teir 3 BS could look like if it were inspired by the later generations of ship design, like the cormorant, ferox, and the capitol ships...
Perhaps a little something like this?
that's obviously just a quick model, no UVW or textures done, that's take a few days to make, but... wondered what peole's reactions are.... would love opinions and feedback. if it's considered off-topic, evemail me ingame )
*slinks off and hopes not to get flamed for going off on a slight tangent.
(p.s. for the CG geeks, it was 3ds max and it's about 2.5k poly with sub-d - designed as an ingame model could work)
