After getting some Razer advertisement today I realised that a lot of Caldari shipnames have the same name (or as good as) as Razer products. To name a few:

Manticore - Caldari cov ops Arrow Manticor - Razer mouse mat
Chimera - Caldari carrier Arrow Chimaera - Razer headset
Naga - Caldari battlecruiser Arrow Naga - Razer mouse
Ferox - Caldari battlecruiser Arrow Ferox - Razer speakers

And then I'm not even naming other names that match drones for instance or names that are too much off-target (like Widow/BlackWidow).

Since Razer is a sponsor of EVE Online nowadays, it got me thinking... What would be the next name Razer would snatch from EVE Online or the other way around? Since the Ouroboros (their new mouse that just got announced) is about to be released I think CCP should change the name of the Caldari titan, the Leviathan, to Ouroboros - just to celebrate their coöperation :)

So... What do you guys think that should be the next name for a ship (new or old) which matches a Razer productname or what should be the next name of a Razer productname (new or old) that matches a Caldari shipname?

Agreed, or my character, as long as it isn't Razer.

Caldari ships were named not for a company's line of products but, for animals or mythological entities. Your premise is flawed, therefore, "no".

So is the product line of Razer, hence the similarities Roll
