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.

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 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.

Usally.... i dont name my ships. Unless i plan to use them in lowsec, or battle... If i do name them, i usally stick with names from X2: The Treat, the classes (you know... argon disco(light scout), argon buster(light fighter), argon nova(heavy fighter)...) But then again... not always. Ive got a little frig called 'LITTLE ANNOYING FRIG' that ive been using of late, along with DESSY OF DOOM... and some others i cant remeber. Then ive got my arbi us in empier somewhere, named Lance Fighter's Arbitrator, simply becouse i use it for missions... and reallly dont care if someone scans/ probes me in empire.

Hmmm... ship names. Well, in no real order: Executioner called Cutty Sark (was used for fast low-volume cargos). Ares called Bullet (used to fit 2 MWD; g*d was it fast!). Tristan called Hot Needle of Inquiry (cookie if you get the reference. )
Thorax called Dauntless; Caracal called Monitor; Dominix called Ark Royal; Megathron called Vanguard; Raven called Ragnarok.
My favourite two though; I have an alt (female toon - it matters! ) with an Iteron V called Rampant Rabbit, and my looting sigil is called Millennium Pigeon.
There are more, but I can't remember them - at work atm. ---------------------------------------------- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." ---------------------------------------------- |

Ship Names
I have had two named ships so far.
The first was given to me in ASCN space and was a Merlin called:
HMS Rectum Ripper II
Unfortunately, as it was a gift, I did not want to change the name, and had to fly around in it, causing the locals to wonder if I was one who "bats for the other team".....
The second ship was an Ibis, which I named by myself, before joining a hunting party to brutally attack a woman called Jessica outside the Mercenary Coalition HQ. I thought about possible names for a while and eventually decided to name it:
MercIbis The Brutal
It is interesting to read of how others choose names for their valiant vessels.

Edited by: Aramendel on 23/09/2006 21:15:46 I am trying keep a naming scheme similar to Iain Banks culture ships. Sometimes rather straightforward, sometimes quite absurd, often a bit ironic. First started to keep a list of good ship names when playing the browsergame ferion for quick copy-paste, which I am using now more or less at random for EVE ships. Sadly, quite a few names have too many letters.

Edited by: Riven Starkill on 23/09/2006 23:31:37 I use Roman and Greek mythological names + another word that seems to fit the role of the ship. I try to have the choice of god fit the role of the ship - so for my battlecruisers, I use Mars or Ares. My smaller ships use different gods.
Raven- Ares Triumphant. Ferox - Ares Ascending. Caracal - Hecate's Spite. Moa (fitted as a tank) - Perseus' Shield Osprey - Prometheus' Folly Rifter (fitted for courier duty and insta plotting) - Mercury Rising. Badger II - Bagspace (ok - so this one is just plain functional...)
Maybe some other names: Vulcan's Fire Hera's Vengance Athena's Wisdom Athena's Spear The bow of Artemis Apollo's Chariot Charon's Lowrider Bellerophon's Pegasus The flight of Daedalus Odysseus' Gambit

pilgrim= jamming with edward viator= gateway shuffle mega= Cowboy/Bebop curse= my funny valentine tyranis= symphathy 4the devl (not enought char allowed for the whole title) etc...
tho for my typhoon's and Dom's I name them after an Alice in Chains album title.
Phoon/Dom= Jar of Flies 1, 2, 3 etc...  How many must die in the name of God before the Devil is satisfied |

Edited by: Grau Warder on 24/09/2006 01:08:07 I tend to name mine after U.S.N. vessels and aircraft.
Mostly aircraft thus far. The Caracal became Strike Eagle,the Merlin is Hornet, Kestrel is a Tomcat, and so on.
Battleships on up will be named after proper vessels. Ranger, Enterprise, Nimitz (if I ever fly a carrier), so on. ________________________________________ It's nothing personal. Just business. |

I pick a trait that can describe the ship and then I translate that into Latin. For example; my Bestower is called Saxosus which means "full of rocks", my Prophecy is called "Parramoles" which means "bird of ill omen". Since I fly exclusively Amarr ships I would think giving them proper Latin names would only be fitting. (why Gallante ships are named in latin I will never know)

I have so tried to stick to naming patterns, even if only for 1 ship.
My rookie ship was the Dora, names after the main character from Day Million (if you've read the story you'll remember the name of the love interest...)
My early frigates were named after Red vs Blue characters.
My Kestrel was "My Dreams Hereafter" - a reference to Tanith Lee's "Vivia"
My Caracal had a name but wasn't around long enough to remember.
My Ferox was the Destructive Appetite (3 guesses where that came from, first two don't count) renamed "Adapt Or Die" post missile-nerf, renamed Worth Overdoing when I started passive tanking, then its replacement was the Focus (as in "Pay attention! Don't lose ships!")
My Nighthawk is the Shub Niggurath because it's black and carries thousands of missiles.
Oh yes, my Badger was called Shorty because it was a shortcut to wealth. For my Badger 2 I was reminded of the film City Heat in which Clint Eastwood keeps calling someone Shorty, so my Badger 2 is called Clint.

My Brutix is called Brannigan's Law, which I do not pretend to understand, but merely enforce. My Condor used for quick smuggling (read: 'go-fast boat' for people who've seen the Miami Vice movie [btw you're welcome to give me a quid for each time they said go-fast boat in that damn movie]) was called Can't Touch This.

*last one I'm not completely sure about, I keep bouncing it around. Also, you'll notice that the last names are bracketized....this is because in actuality I'm only using the first names, but that's where all the referencing is coming from.

Well, if you can figure my name out, you'll probably understand.
Anyways, I tried to stick a theme with my ships somehow...
Originally I had shattered heart and wanderer... just, stuff... you'd have to know me, anyways onto our present.
Uh, if you can't find the theme, then you need to step out.
First Enyo - The Feral Feline(Lost to sniper) Ishkur(s) - The Swarm Feline(both lost, one to a pos, the other game hiccup/tough BS rats)
Those being the past ones with names that fit the "theme".
Current ships. Enyo - Was The Feral Feline II, though something magical happened and it's now known as The Feline's Ghost. If you want to know why... then you'd had to have known me when it happened.  Vexor - Copper Cat Mammoth - Wandering Cheetah Brutix - Brutal Cheetah (Brutal, Brutix... whatever) Iteron 4 - The Stub Catalyst - Fury Random Atron that's way off in the middle of nowhere - Sprint.
Future possibility Megathron - Mega Cheetah. Yeah, I know... real original.
Will update if I forgot any.

Now all of my ships have "Pork Chop" in the name.
Pork Chop Hauler Pork Chop Miner Lil Pork Chop Frozen Pork Chop (Mackinaw) etc.
Woot! That is my all-time favorite movie! I almost named my character Jack Burton lol! In fact, I think I've even seen a Caldari ship named the "Porkchop Express"
Mine's more simple...All of my ships are named "Eagle One" based upon my favorite SF series Space 1999. I've lost so many ships to low sec gate camps and rat gangs that it's only appropriate, since in nearly every episode Eagle One crashes or is destroyed!

Well my Punisher was never renamed. My Omen was something religious, and my Maller was Malcontent. I decided to go surfing for a forced name change and named my Armageddon "Geddon It On." I need something less...juvenile.

I use a variety of Latin, greek or references to ancient history. Names of cities gods nations and such. Throw a couple terms from religious terminology of varying religions and you got a naming system that'll never run dry :D

I've always used Culture ship names from Iain M. Banks books:
Nervous Energy Prosthetic Conscience Youthful Indiscretion Gunboat Diplomat Jaundiced Outlook Problem Child Reasonable Excus
I also name my shuttles after really crappy small cars:
Ford Fiesta Nissan Micra Robin Reliant Audi TT
etc

Mythological heros, gods, creatures and even places, primarily from Hindu, Greek, Roman and Norse mythos.
Nothing terribly original or fancy, but it makes them easy to find at a glance in the hangar.
I do try to make it appropriate to the role of the ship:
(Hawk) Kali (Raptor) Hermes (Buzzard) Spectre (Manticore) Adrasteia (Cormorant) Hydra (Blackbird) Banshee (Osprey) Avalon (Badger Mk II) Ganesha (Other Badger Mk II) Atlas (Ferox) Mjolnir (Scorpion) Nemesis (Raven) Shiva

Edited by: Aquila Lightwielder on 26/09/2006 09:56:02 Might be a bit clishT or whatever, but I name my ships either by something latin, like "lamia" on my curse and "Venator" on my pilgrim. Or something from GUNDAM SEED, like "Aegis" for my zealot or "Eternal" for my Archon :) edit: and yea I also usually add the roman numerical after how many times it has been re-incarnated :p

Imicus = Night Treader/Night Hawk Bestower = The Beast Excquerer = Golemstar
