Browsing this thread, I can't believe people are flying all that. But anyways...

I remember a guy who named his Noctis "Gluttony". Looks linda in-line Smile

This list desperately lacks "3,834 orcs" Blink

Well, I have two Nightmares, one I called "H. R. Giger". When I'm told that it has not enough phallic motiffs, I tend to respond that one should see interior.
Another one I called "Ghast". Somewhat similar meaning, but hey, Minecraft is such a nice game Smile

Probably one day I'll get something magnificent enough to use one of those cheesy names from Halo (like, "In Amber Clad" suits some Amarr ship well), but since I'm going to finish training Destroyers 5 soon, expect me to use names more along the line of "Wreck-Minus Five Minutes... And Counting" Lol

Raven - Freebird
Charon - A Horse With No Name
Rattlesnake - Sagittar
Noctis - Transitive Nature
Machariel - Blood of Tyranny
Orca - Caketown
Mackinaw - Ice Princess
Myrmidon - Nucleus
Crane - Dead Run
Viator - Golden Silence (Named back when the ship was apparently gold-plated)
Caracal - Foehammer
Drake - Highlander

Planning on naming my next fanged ship "Terminus", and I'm saving up for an align-rigged Orca I'm going to call "Smuggler's Gambit"

Holydriver
Miracle Man
Riff Raff

they dont last long - ppppppppvppppppppp, except for the Holydriver which has been a drake for the past year and hasnt died - who primaries a drake 1st? :)

i used to name them after Culture ships, but those names are just too long most of the time.

I generally fly Amarr ships, so I try to go with the best Latinized pseudo-Gothic English I can for my amarr boats, and tend to use some sort of scientific terminology/translation for caldari boats. Favorites so far are:

Navygeddon - Luminous Ascension
Curse - Glorious Abyss
Anathema - Umbral Eye
Malediction - Nox Lamina
Archon (before she sploded) - Canticum Nocentibus
Tengu - Kinetic Potential
Nightmare - Eternity of Pain

Noctis, Greeds Yoke
Cormorant, Castanedas Coffin
Drake, Cupcake of Love (I'd call the Missiles lovely greetings, but meh...)

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Somehow that name reminds me of the lower end of a digestion tract.... -..-

Or some other place that would be utterly unpleasant to visit.

Orca: Caution - Wide Turns

Exploration site / WH prober: Magellan

Assult Frig (that I leave in 0.0 to run Angel Epic arc): Angels Bane
Covert Ops (that I use to get to the above ship): Kessel

Covert bomber: Now You See Me

Cant remember others at the moment. I tend to name ships depending on their purpose, rather than their looks.

I let my woman name them in her native language, as the chance
A GM will google it and ban me for profanity is rather small :p

Did produce some intresting convo's in local :)

Some ships are less creative, a Rook became Jam's 'R Us ,
A hotdrop falcon " **** delivery" , ect.. Ect..

Did stop numbering fleet battleships, as in a long war it gets depressing naming a Geddon " Lazershow 6 "


Personally i find it more entertaining to go creative on POS names.

As a Minmatar and having interest in Norse mythology, I tend to name my ships to lesser known Eddic entities, like trolls or frost giants. Sometimes I just refer to it, like my last ship name: The World Serpent.

These days I'm mostly using Angel rat names, but a name many of my Frigates take for Null Sec solo-roams is 'Innrásaraðili'.
