Hmm, another one of these.
Many of my previous ships were named for either references to the old Marathon series - Mars Needs Women, Thing What Kicks, etc.
Some were named in the style of Iain M. Banks naming conventions - Acquisition Phase, Corporate Largess, On Second Thought...
Current ships and recent ships: The Soul Destroyer - Covetor Hostile Intent - Myrmidon Junkyard Hobbyist - Megathron (salvage/loot config) Thing What Pokes - Iteron V (looks like a stick, get it, get it?) Flawless Cowboy - Mission running Hyperion (and not so flawless, alas... R.I.P.) The Hunger - Covetor Habe Quiddam - Hyperion; expensive lesson in what you can do in a gang to someone who is not in your corp. 'Mind if I see how much damage I do?' (this is what I get for living in zero-sec for two years, no clue how the rules work in empire...I'm better now, though) ___________________________________

I tend to pick music related names. Some examples:
Typhoon: Freddie Freeloader (Miles Davis song) Maelstrom: Lady Day (Billie Holidays nickname) Mammoth: Reptilia (The Strokes song)

Hurricane - The Free hurricane Typhoon - Typhoon Drake - Drake Rifter - Rifter Stabber - Stabber Scorp - PRIMARY(Number) the number boing how many times i have been called primary and WTFPWNED in 10 seconds.
I go with those boring names because its not a dead give away if you allways roam in the same ship.

Cause my memory is quite crap and i like to keep my ships fitted for certain jobs i usually name as such, e.g.
Ratter g-type = for belt hopping gurista belts (also at home with serpentis?) Vulture = is a condor i was using to just fly around (following fights and such) picking up scraps Apache = is my ferox, basically a gunship
I do have a few exceptions though like a destroyer i named friga kila which is actually just for salvaging but i thought the name might throw some people off attacking me. I dont really get sentimental though and name em after people or anything, maybe i should do that with my hookbill and call it Roger?

Just simple "license plates" I guess you could call them. The first and last letter of the ships name + reg number + ships lifespan (A = the first one of those that I have, B the second one of that type I've bought after the first was destroyed etc.)
Some Examples:
Caracal = Cl-2248-A
Merlin = Mn-7066-C
Rokh = Rh-3003-A
And so on and so forth. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Concentrate all your fire on one target, when it is destroyed, move on to the next. That is how you secure victory". - Tactica Imperium. |

I name my ships by importance to me and their function: Hulk- Katamari Damacy (it absorbs everything, and sounded better than shop vac) Rokh- Jacqueline (my ex-GF, concidently the day we broke up, I was ganked in it while ratting) Buzzard- Furry (my first per guinea pig, very quiet and patienct) Hawk- Maerlyn (my dog) Falcon- Snowey (my last guinea pig, quiet and aggressive) Mackinaw- Ice Machine (pretty self explanitory) Those are the ones worth naming.
Everyone is born right handed, only the great over come it.

I tend to name mine with word ending in 'er', i.e., "Marauder", "Predator", "Asteroid Assaulter". But I built a Kestrel to 'train up' PvP with. Had to name that one "Scooty Puff Jr.". Unfortunately, it was destroyed by a corp. mate in a training exercise :(

Edited by: Ezekiel Sulastin on 23/04/2007 17:31:51 Edited by: Ezekiel Sulastin on 23/04/2007 17:30:08 Ishkur - Hoshiakari - Starlight Taranis - Tsukiakari - Moonlight
Iteron - Unsousen - Cargo Vessel
Celestis - Enrai - Distant Thunder Vexor - Shuurai - Thunder Strike Thorax - Rakurai - Thunderbolt Myrmidon - Banrai - Heavy Thunder
Dominix - Kousatsu - Strangulation Megathron - Gyakusatsu - Atrocity
I used the prefix CRN for POS purposes, and affixed a Roman numeral afterwards for the nth ship of that model. Thus, since I'm on my third Thorax, it's called CRN Rakurai III (exception is the Iteron, the number corresponds with the level of the Iteron). Note that all ships of a given class end in the same characters (yes, a BC is a big C for this exercise ...). My younger sister sent me a link to a Japanese <> English dictionary - http://www.solon.org/cgi-bin/j-e/FG=r/inline/dict - and I decided to plug words in ...
I used to name ships random things that came to mind - Thorax was Malebolge, my Vexor and Myrmidon were named Maleficent ...

I think there is something to that renaming ships being bad luck business. I usually name my Domi's Minerva after the ship in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle. During a long caravan my corpies started ragging on her because she took so long to align and get to warp. So I started naming it things like I <3 BBQ! and SS Badonkadonk. Immediately after we ran into a massive gate camp that left us all in pods.
My next Thorax will be called Wartime Johnny. If you ask an older lady what that is you might get slapped.
