I like to name my Ships with stuff that come out of Warhammer 40K novels myself :)
I now have a basic frig called "Hawk of Asaheim" after some Space Wolf Thunderhawk, a frig called "Bellus", and so on...
For heavier ships I like to use stuff like "Wrath of Pardua", "Divine Retribution" and the like :)

Yep, i try and name the ships, either using Arthurian Legend, or demon names, eg Cov-ops called Myrdin Wylts, and a Phobos called Mephastopholies.
General use ships are named for the purpose, eg, Hacker for Radar Sites, Excavator for Magnetromagnetic sites, Ice Breaker for macks, Manic Miner for hulks.

I name all my ships after 'chevaliers du zodiaque' characters.
Like 'Gemini Kanon', 'Dohko' or 'Radhamantis'.
Why keep the geekiness confined to just playing MMO after all?

My primary mission running ships are all "Righteous Blade" and a number. I'm currently on an Apoc, "Righteous Blade XXVII", which says something about my missioning skills. ;)
On the PVP front, there's been
Polysynchronicity - Only covops I ever bought, been around for over a year without getting popped.
Lucky Griffin - I named it this after I flew it from F4R to Amarr through hostile 0.0, without seeing a single hostile.
Most of my PVP ships I name by holding ALT and mashing the numpad until something interesting came out. My favorite so far is ALT-3331. Try it!

I usually name my ships after a certain attribute they have. My Crusader is 15km pulse, my vengeance is Expensive Tackler, my Pilgrim is Surprise *********, etc.
Edit: Good lord, I can't believe they ***** that out...
My archon is named "r4petrain"

My ship names are constructed something like this...
[Character Name] has [Random STD]
Otherwise clever puns or movie quotes and whatnot work just as well.

Oh a mix of stuff.
Sometimes just the shape inspires me, so my Apocalypse = "Black & Decker Drill"
And the Harbinger looked like a cross to me so its called "Golden Cross" then using one for salvaging which is named "Bone Collector" because of its function. And I named the Sigil "Big Ugly Bug (BUB)" cause it looks like something that just crawled out of a deep dark moist icky pitt.

I find myself an english dictionary, close my eyes, and find a random word. If I don't like the word, I just find another one... Usually Im pretty lucky and find a good word in the first go...

Enyo: MyNutzEnYoMouth
Badger: No Good Loot
Badger 2: Completely Empty
Most everything else just gets named whatever type of ship it is like Crow or Generic Crow (although I have named a few of my 'ceptors after race cars or speed related euphemisms, ie Draggin Wagon).
I think everyone should name their Stabber or Thorax after something schlong related....

I usually name mine with a joke that only I think is clever, and no-one else ever gets or cares about.
I feel fairly standard in this regard.

I always have trouble, looking at a list of random-named ships, remembering which is which.
So now I name them as anagrams of the real name, you can spot them pretty easily once you get the hang of it. And some of them are really funny.
The retribution I am flying now is called 'Burrito Nite'
Hurricane = 'Reach Ruin'
Megathron = 'Hot Engram'

I like to name my ships after characters from the wizard of oz.
I have Tin Man, Scarecrow, Dorothy, Cowardly Lion, Toto, Wicked Witch, you get the idea.
When I get a carrier I'll name it Flying Monkey's.

My Vulture, with maxed fleet bonuses, is 'Benevolent Authority' and my Charon is 'Inevitable Bounty'. Tempting fate? Maybe.
Most of the others are a play on words too, also based upon the function and/or class of ship.
