I've had all sorts of naming conventions over the years, though I do like to us an "XSS" at the start for my corp. So, right now they're all "DSS" something - the DSS Penumbra, the DSS Immolator, the DSS Furious Purpose.
Probably going to name my next one the Toriv Hakaat after a bit of RP stuff I did the other day. -

Originally by: Reven Darklight I usually name them after a ships from either real life or from TV/Movies that are more or less of the same class, frigs, cruisers etc. Ie I have a HMS Hood around somewhere as well as an andromeda ascendant
Same goes for me pretty much, my mining vessel is Red Dwarf, and my shuttles are Starbug and Puddle Jumper.

also forgot to mention that with my ships, ORS sometimes is replaced by corp ticker when I mostly use them in gang stuff. in nullsec all my ships were named MMC [name] for example Cheers, Faros

I name all ships I plan to use much. Mainly I try to come up with an original name based on its role or appearance. I don't name them "clever" funny names or name them after ships in other settings (ie: no Millenium Falcon).

Edited by: Sirani on 04/01/2009 04:55:34 I name my ships after ships I like in TV shows, for example;
My salvager is called the Eureka Maru, my blasterboat is called Pegasus, my hauler is called Serenity, and my carrier is called Battlestar Phoenix.
10 points for each reference, 50 bonus points if you get them all. (5k isk to the winrar)

Originally by: Vall Kor And if so, how do you choose the name?
I name mine after British WWII ships.
Running around in "So and So's Cyclone" is really asking for it. Sometimes fleets will name themselves according to a plan to reduce scan clutter.
If you can't think of something witty, the good old "Asteroid (Veldspar)" will work fine. I've also had a grand time renaming my shuttle "Grendelsbane's Hyperion" and such.

One thing I never understood is why people name there ships USS something. US does not exist in this universe. FSS or GFSS - yes, RSS or MRSS -yes CSS -yes.
The only RL naming convention that can apply in this game is HMS - that is only if yu are flying Amarr.

I name mine whatever comes to mind. Most of the time it's Locus [whatever], after our corp name. Sometimes it's Loser, after our corp ticker. Any time I can't think of a name it just gets changed to "Wash Me"
At the moment I have three mission ships, 'cause I'm on hiatus from FW. They are:
Dominix: Locus Trashmaker Catalyst: Locus Trashgrabber Badger II: Locus Trashhauler
I also had a blaster Brutix named "Tap Tap the Red Nose," ala. Yoshi's Island. My series of Thorax's were "Thornery X" where X is the number of the ship. My favourite ship, a Crane, is "Locus Rum Runner" --- Burukt "The Eh Team" Vri'ra Locus Industries Amarr Militia Got shot down by a Moros, loved every second |

I name my ships in similar fashion to the Navy.
Example: USS Abraham Lincoln
I use my corps call sign letters, if that's what they are called and a name that is fitting for the ship.
DJLX Resolute - my level 4 Raven mission ship DJLX Ironside - my ratting and level 3 Drake DJLX Nook - my hauler DJLX Vulture - my salvage ship

Minmatar= Junky (+role dependend) So Junky Junk-Trader for my salvager
caldari ships = (size) and ugly my drake for instance is Big and ugly, though i don't think, the raven is exactly ugly s.b.
Gallente ships: Gods of the D&D Pantheons like Boccob, Pelor, Tymora, Hextor and the like.
industrials,freighters, and so on of all races and the raven : Aunt Marge (and a counting roman numeral)
Haven't yet used any amarr ships, so no idea yet. Oh, and shuttles are always "Little Susy".

All of my approx. 210 different ships have name and with some many ships it can get hard to stick to a single logic, still I tried.
All my amarrian ships( except for my second hand navy apoc) are named after places near where I grew up. Used to be in the village itself, is up to a 20mile/30km radius by now. Most other ships are named for either a quality they are supposed to have( according to their info) or what they look like. This leads to names like: Trash Can, Ironing Board, Jawa Crawler and I forgot the rest.
Of course there are also people with a (very) twisted sense of humor in this game. In an older 'ship's names' I once read someone had called his hurricane Katrina.

anime characters and animals (usually australian animals), also will add the occasional strange name such as naming my ship after some random red in local.
mastadon = appa hulk = geko mack = skink tempest = stingray gas harvesting phoon = minmatar but plug scimitar = shinobu scorpion = bluering

My ships got rather unimaginative names.
The Nightmare is currently named 'Space Oddity' but used to be 'HSsslich' and if that german name doesnt tell you anything go google Rammstein.
But sǝɯɐudıɥs uɐɔ ʎ11ɐnʇɔɐ ǝq ǝpısdn uʍop and that I use that for Assault and Interceptors class ships, so my Vengeance for example is named ɐɯǝxɔǝ.

Yup.
I'm in my Deadspace-addicted stage ATM, so most of my ships have asian-sounding first names and latin-ish second names.

Edited by: NeoShocker on 04/01/2009 18:12:59 Edited by: NeoShocker on 04/01/2009 18:11:54 I always name by ships.. Starting with CNS (Caldari Navy Ship, what can I say? Caldari at heart :) ) then after that, add a name relating to electric. To name a couple.. (I'm still collecting names for Mythical/legend names so all my ships are named after them, again must relate to electricity.)
All t1 frigates, C.N.S. Ramiel (angel of thunder) I to whatever XX Raptor - Thunder Speed, Speedybolt (Close tackler) Crow - Barak (Barak \b(a)-rak\ is pronounced ba-RAHK, BARE-ek. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "flash of lightning".) Manticore - ThunderClouds Blackbird - ThunderWave (paralyzing attack from pokemon ) Nighthawk - ThunderHawk Rokh - Thor's Hammer Raven - Thunderer
My hauling ships however, are named differently. Looking for a name for Rhea (as soon as I get one :s). Maybe Obese Man?

I always name my ships something. I did alot of solo 0.0 roaming in taranis before and I used to name my Taranis 'Taranis #1' 'Taranis#2' and so on, but I lost the number (think I was on 28) so now it's only taranis :)

when the suicide/speed nerf was inevitable, I went through 5 suicide ganking brutii named "Nerf Nanos [1-5]"
im also going through kestrels that are simply their number, spelled out with letters, with occasional variations (such as "ate")
I think you can tell one's attachment to a ship by their name, my real pvp ships get their own names; lego starwars, raging bull, altscout, rook? (next falcon gets named checkmate)
