The Minmatar one clearly needs to be called "Mistral" (or the original Provencal version which is I believe "Maestral"), after the strong cold wind which blows down valleys in southern France, and which means (more or less, in the original version) "Master Wind".

"Ironic name considering the shape of the ship "
Well, it was either that or Cerigo, the offspring of Uranus... but how many would get that ;s
But a bit more seriously, i kind of like Briareos as possible name for Gallente ship... Dark Shikari is likely to chime in that's used in certain anime, but it origins as the name of hundred-handed tree-like giant, largest of his kind. Rather suitable for top tier battleship...

CCP need to hold a competition for naming new ship classes (perhaps via the forums under the ideas thread a sticky) 1 post per character - alt. Or pheraps kieron can sit in jita and ask everyone to give them ship name ideas collect em all then draw one out of the hat. Totaliser - Memuolop for example.

A little research and my own personal taste have come up with these names. Google or wiki for definitions if needed.
For Ammar and there ôend daysö theme: Annihilation Odium Hex
For Caldari and there birds theme: Wren Peregrine Waxwing Vireo Kingfisher
For the Gallente and there ôold godsö theme:
Nike Bel Labraid Morrigan Gwydion
For the Minmatar and there ôbad weatherö theme:
Blizzard Snowblind Tsunami Thunder Hailstorm

First, apologies if my suggestions have been made already. I did not read all of the replies in the thread.
Minmatar - Whirlpool / Vortex
Originally by: Dictionary.com A rapidly rotating current of water; a vortex / A spiral motion of fluid within a limited area, especially a whirling mass of water or air that sucks everything near it toward its center.
Amarr - Resolution
Originally by: Dictionary.com The state or quality of being resolute; firm determination.
Gallente - Aether
Originally by: Wikipedia Aether (AithOr Greek for Ether), in Greek mythology, is one of the Protogenos (first-born) the personification of the "upper sky", space and heaven, the elemental god of the Bright, Glowing, Upper Air.
He is the pure, upper air that the gods breathe, as opposed to "aer" (the gloomy lower air of the Earth), which mortals breathed.
In Hesiod's Theogony he was the son of Erebus and Nyx...
Caldari - Suzaku
Originally by: Wikipedia In Japan, the influence of the five Buddhist elements has obscured the origins of the Ssu Ling. Under this system, Byakko, the White Tiger, is connected with the element wind; Genbu, the Black Tortise, with earth; Seiryu, the Blue Dragon, with water; and Suzaku, the Red Phoenix, with fire.

Holy crap, those boobies are huge compared to that thorax?
"help guys! i'm in a thorax and I got 2 boobies flanking me!"
  
" And my Blasters are almost out of juice "
Anyway, I really like Tsunami or Monsoon for the Minnie BS, Maelstrom also has a nice ring to it.

Originally by: Galea Wildfang There are other mythical names for caldarian ships already (like Harpy).
Harpy is an EAGLE too, it's probably named after the BIRD, not the mythological creature.
Find me a Cerberus and a Manticore .. and on a side note, no clue why you think your post deserves such large letters, but usually Caps make look people ... already, but you beat them (you get the picture).
Anyways, still would like it being named 'Dragon'.
Flamming leads to anger, anger leads to pain, pain leads to suffering, and suffering leads to teh Dark Side !

If you want to use that as an example, that's fine, Harpy is a bad one.

The forums have a size function. Therefore my post deserves to use it.

Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari
Originally by: Malthros Zenobia If you go with the bird-theme, I think a great name for the Caldari BS would be:
Roc (the bigass mythical birds, would fit perfectly)
Already been mentioned multiple times, genius 
Good to see we have another vote for that, though!
I mentioned Roc around the time the Tier3s were announced.

Originally by: Copine Callmeknau Minnie BS are named after WWII Fighter planes, the Hawker Typhoon and Hawker Tempest. Following this tradition the next in line would be the Hurricane, named after the Hawker Hurricane 
Those are also types of storms, which is probably what the theme is, not WW2 fighter planes, since those are probably better than the minnie BSes.

Originally by: xxShadexx Advanced Spaceship Command lvl 5 just so tht everybody doesnt gets em stright away 
They need to make BCs requires Adv spaceship command, and BSes require adv SS command 2-3. Kinda fruity that you go from needing SS command 4 for a BS, to CAPITAL SHIP I (for a dread). Slightly huge gap there, and makes no sense to have no combat ships require it.
I am completely for making all Battleships require Adv spaceship command.

That would be raptor/osprey/falcon/other names used already.

Amarr: VINDICATION or ANNIHILATION or RAGNAROK [end of the world theme makes the most sense] For Caldari, Gallente, and Minmatar, I like the author of the thread's idea. SIDEWINDER, CELAENO, MAELSTROM respectively works great for me
