Since my character's name is a reference to an Arthurian knight, I decided to name my ships after horses:
Navitas: Palfrey
Tristan: Palomino (with the BLACK HOLE reference, too)
Iteron IV: Clydesdale
Iteron II: The Grey Mule
Vexor: Rocinante
Catalyst: Appaloosa
Shuttle: Epona
Retriever: Quarterhorse
Sadly, everyone's got a ship named Shadowfax, but I'm saving "Bucephalus" for my future freighter, and "Lipizzaner" for the Dominix, once it's built.
I think once I go to Elite ships, I'll start introducing some other mythical steed names.

Badger MkII: Valley Forge (bonus points to anyone who gets the reference)
The first Valley Forge (CV-45) was an aircraft carrier commissioned in 1946, active in the Korean War, converted to an amphibious assault ship LPH-8, and serving in the Vietnam War until decommissioning in 1970. Prior to decommissioning, the carrier was used as a film set for a spaceship (also named Valley Forge) in the 1971 film Silent Running

The Roger Young was the second ship in the book. The Valley Forge was the first, as well as the one featured in the TV series. In the book it was destroyed during Operation Bug Hunt.

I play a Space Wolves army in warhammer 40k so I have named most of my ships around Space Wolves fluff. I hope I don't infringe on any TM laws with this post... 
Wolf: Daniel's last flight
Cyclone: Axe of Morkai
Rupture: Wolf Guard
Scythe: Haegr's Hunger
Stabber: Spear of Russ
Rifter: Fangs of the Wolf/Wolf Scout
Slasher: Frostblade
Vigil: Gale of Fenris
Thrasher: Hakon's Peace
Hoarder: Maws of Morkai
Mammoth: Iron Wolf
Obviously, my Wolf isn't named after some Games Workshop fluff but I have my reason's for giving it that name. Now, I must go think of the names I will give to my future battleship...

Sweet! Space wolves rule. My house is adorned with SW paraphernalia - resin statuettes and busts, a chapter logo badge on my jacket collar and my keychain.
