I've been using Ted Stephens catch phrases so far:
Merlin - Series of Tubes Badger II - A Big Truck Caracal - Network Neutrality
I plan on getting a really freaking huge ship one day and calling it "An Internet" -------------------------------------------------------- Working towards my own personal Dreadnought, one ISK at a time. |

You just made me lol.
However, I name all my ships so as not to screw with the people scanning during corp PVP ops.

Personally I use a mix of latin, japanese and movie titles I like. When I can't think of a name I used Cinderella Man. For my covetor I called it avarus which means, yknow, greed, in latin. My badger? Muujina, the japanese name of a type of japanese badger. Stuff like that. Nice to see a non whining thread.

ffs, CCP, it's about time you listened to your players and nerf ship names.
It's bad enough that these cheaters are using logon tactics to gank gimped Amarr players by fitting imba EANMs and spamming ECM or crashing nodes with insta bookmarks, now they get to a free ticket to exploit with foreign languages that nobody knows how to read.
way to backstab your loyal user base, CCP. No, you can't have my stuff.
Oh, and something about the forums or a moderated post.
...
Wait, what was it we were talking about? Oh yes, I should probably answer the OP instead of just being a smartass. I name my ships with words beginning with "V". They're all different, so after a certain number of ships it gets pretty hard to stay creative. I'm quite fond of Vivisectionist, my Thrasher.

I use girls names that were featured in songs:
Gloria (G-L-O-R-I-A) Jenny (Jenny Jenny who can I turn to) Sheena (Sheena is a punk rocker) Allison (My aim is true) Alice (You can get anything you want..., excepting Alice) Eileen (Go toora loora toora loo rye aye) Mary Lou (She's the kind of woman make a fool out of you)
etc...

Most frigates get named after early Pink Floyd references.
Everthing else typically has a moose or caribou in the name.
Never really thought about why. Perhaps that's for the best.  _______

Usually after Adult Swim characters or shows.
Big O stuff - Battleships tend to get the Big names (Big O, Big Duo, Big Fau). Smaller ships, usually after characters (Rosewater, Schwarzwald, etc.)
Whenever I put together a ganking omen, I name it Frylock. Just seems appropriate.

I steal alot of names from Iain M Banks novels, cos he knows how to name a spaceship, sometimes particular ships get detsroyed and their new incarnation has a name to reflect its new purpose, and sometime I just google rude words in icelandic, just so people struggle to read it out to their corpmates when attacking me. Othe than that few ships have names which have personal meaning. If you cant tell already I have alot of ships and not much money lol

I'm unoriginal in naming my ships after emotions and states of mind. I've run through most of the gamut of negative affects in Cyclones alone ;) ---------------------------- Remember, killing a Goon isn't murder. They don't have souls. |

Edited by: Lardarz B''stard on 23/09/2006 06:38:57 I put little bits of my name in them. If my name doesn't fit into a ship then I pretty much won't fly it.
EG: Lardageddon Apocalard Zealard Absolardarz Calardi Navy Raven Malardiction
Failing that, I use bits of NPCs So you get: True Sanshas Beast Lard

I generally try to pattern them after Culture ship names. For example, Happy To See You (Thorax), Got Your Nose (Brutix), Sorry Can't Hear You (Celestis), etc.
Sometimes I go for anagrams (Tintars, Suluam). I also have a Megathron named Ulysses, but that's just because I got lazy.

Wow. I should have never admitted that.

I have no particular place I get my ship names from, but I like to be creative, or I just rip them from things I like or reflect the nature of the ship itself (or if I'm feeling really lasy, It's called "Akkarin Pagan's [enter ship type here]"

Ive nabbed my names from the battletech universe clans:
Stone Rhino Ghost Bear Jade Falcon Smoke Jaguar
At some point i'll probably swap them over to individual mech names that share characteristics with the ships purpose.

i used to have a Retriever called 'Asteroid (Veldspar)'
Apart from that, I tend to name them by their purpose in life. 'BM setter', 'Loot Collector', etc. keeps life simple in my hanger.
