I rename my ships immediately, and try to come up with something clever.
For example: My Drake's name is "Sir Tanks-a-Lot".
It's important to name your ships for security reasons, as well. If you rename your ship, scan probes only show the name of the ship, not your name. Not a lot of situations where this is HORRIBLY important, but there are some. ________________

For Example:

Raven - Thor
And so on. Usualy I try to find the ancient god that kinda fits the ship.

As I said in one of the previous ship name threads I sort of have themes for my names. Seemingly generic (although the name does have a history) boy's names for Caldari ships, girl's names after people I know for Gallente. I don't know how it all started, but now I can't break the tradition. (in case you're wondering, I don't even have frigate skills for Amarr or Minmatar, so I don't know what I would call them).
Named a Megathron Jenny once. It wasn't very good, or maybe I just wasn't very good with her . She popped within days, RL Jenny would probably have punched me if she'd known about it. Reincarnated her in a navy mega (since the original design was pretty sound) that's still with me after almost a year. Now I'm up to Jenny Mk III in my Kronos.
As a rule, ship names are final so I can only allow myself to change them once.
I'm basically a carebear mission runner btw, so I generally expect to keep most of my ships for a good while. For the ones I don't expect to keep (for whatever reason ) I just assign the first letter of the ship type, a dash and a six digit hex code again based on the ship name plus the current date and time (hashed). So had I named my Kronos right now by that standard it would've been called K-DF4B2E. Not very fitting for her though.

All of mine are various versions of the name "PWN MUFFIN" I have the first one, which was a hac, it had an unpleasant death. My Abaddon was the second PWN MUFFIN DOS, my new hac is called PWN MUFFIN MINI. Anyway most of my ships are called something along those lines.

my ship names generally refer to good friends of mine either from other mmos or otherwise as a rule of thumb, mostly. sometimes there are exceptions
for example, my first ever frigate was named Raessa after a friend of mine from another mmo my first cruiser was named Antross, again, after a friend of mine from another mmo my first BC was Antross II after the same person my first BS was/is named Suzu Elas, again after another friend of mine from another mmo my second cruiser ever was different, named it Azra'dite, a play on aphrodite, the greek goddess
my haulers however are an exception and get different names..
for example, my iteron four is named Nosediver, because the front of it faintly resembles a flattened nose my iteron three is named ITS A SNAKE after the eve version of weebles stuff "badger badger badger"
my retriever is named Fallen Angel, because with the old graphics, it looked golden and just fit at the time.
but yes, I rename my ships.

Example: Real name - Voodoo Dogs Megathron = changes to Tripples Megathron

I tend to bounce around different themes, or come up with completely random stuff. My current line of PvP ships all have something to do with Rabite's and Whips.
Drake: Rabite's Flail Thorax: Rabite's Lash Ferox: Rabite's Whip (this one is so much scattered debris)
Otherwise I tend to use the corp ticker and a semi appropriate name. I have an ECM ship named LOSER Frazzler, a Charon named LOSER Freighter, and had a thorax named the LOSER Cruiser. For a bit, I was using hull numbers as I produce most of my own ships. My first ships I really made an effort to name were my three Rokhs, Fury's Form, Fury's Flight, and Fury's Fall. They're all dead.

My ship names have to do with the ship name or their shape. My Rapier is named Wit, my Armageddon Geddon It On and my Anathema A Scanner Darkly. The only one I couldn't figure a name for was my Broadsword, and it looked quite byzantine so I called it Kafkaesque.

I like for my primary front line ship to have a serious name. My Drake, therefore, is Glaurung. I wonder if there's a ship registry anywhere, because I can't imagine I'm the first to name his Drake for the Father of All Dragons.
As my ships of the line fall into disuse, they're generally renamed to something more cheeky, but no less apt.

Incursus - Sunday Strike VII Catalyst - Principalities II Vexor - Escort time Thorax - Good Vibrations VI (I know, immature) Myrmidon - Digitalius II Brutix - Disaster Report

I usually name my ships to a type or theme, my Drakes are "the Rage" (currently on the Rage V, VI, and VII) My Ravens the Fury (Fury, Fury II), my Cerberus The Anger, not sure what I'll name my Nighthawk in a few weeks half the fun is naming I think, when fitting a ship. Another one bites the dust. |

I rename my ship a lot, sometimes even multiple times a day.
Why?
I try to adapt to Local, when I see a guy in there, a few months old, for example named "newguy", I rename my Drake to "newguy's Drake".

I use mostly names taken from the Homeworld RTS game. Be it a class of ship (Taiidan are the best, they're exotic), a location, or something that just fits.
Malediction - Raachok Vengeance - Kuudark Comet - Diirvas Slicer - Tenhauser Gate Ishkur - Diamond Shoals Maller - Tiifal Phantasm - Sea of Lost Souls Sacrilege - Koshiir-Ra Zealot - Skaal-Tel Absolution - Guardian of Kadesh Damnation - Karos Graveyard Raven - Skaal-Fa Abaddon - Sajuuk-Cor Megathron - Qwaar-Jet Soon-To-Be Paladin - Ghosts of Kharak
If/when I ever get a carrier it would be the Saarkin-Cho
Although occasionally I use some names from Battletech (Crusader - Kerenky's Blues, Navapoc - Strana Mechty) or some random ones (Ferox - Backwards Cormorant, Cormorant - Backwards Ferox, Pilgrim - Skinwalker). ----------------

Typically I give them something that includes my corp's ticker, for example "SBSW miner", "SBSW dogfighter", "SBSW destroyer". Remember that if you are destroyed in glorious combat, the wreck will have the name that you gave the ship. And you want people to know it was you, right?

I always rename my ships. Sometimes I like to name them something they are not like "Zerkar's Badger MK II" when they are really a BS (LOL) but only when I am messing with Low Sec. Most of the time I prefer other languages for my ship names.
My Ferox was named "Vehementer" My Hurricane is named "Ventalis" My Maelstrom is named "Abwehrkraft"
Whatever sounds good and has a good meaning to it that fits the ship in question tends to be my naming style. One of my mates lost her Drake so her 2nd Drake got named the "Revinant" and her Raven is named "Nevermore". +++++++++++++++ I saw the Sign...!

I used to name my ships whatever I wanted to - was pretty fun.
I had names like:
My Lil' Mojito Retribution's Blade Confluent Fury Whiskey Tango Fox McNubin Chronic Slowass Quebec Trebek Teknicolor Dreamcoat etc,etc,etc.
But when it came time to jump into a ship with a different fit or whatnot, i'd end up forgetting what mods were on it. (I have about 35-40 ships, so keeping track gets difficult)
So I started to apply some sort of logic to my ship names.
Fleet 1 [CRD-MPSw] would be a name for one. the letters in the brackets all stand for something.
CR = close range D = DPS M = MWD P = Point (warp scram/disrupt) Sw = Stasis webber
Right off the bat, i'd know around abouts what setup i'd be jumping into.
Also, Fleet 2 [MRT-MPTp] would signify MR = medium range T = tank Tp = target painter
You get the idea. Helps when you're in a rush

I'll typically use another player's name for my ship. A name from the bottom part of some local list.
This way, when in a busy system I might just fool someone that he's got someone else on scanner, even if that person isn't in the same system. I guess many people are too lazy/in too much of a hurry to check if that person is somewhere on local.
In quiet systems it's quite obvious that someone is using a fake name. They still need to find out who it is. And the scanning person might just believe it's yet another one of those plentiful POS parked ships.
