    So I am a fan of the Ian M Banks style of names, and tend to come up with those same style of names.
    Having compiled a rather extensive list of name ships, I figured I might as well share them with you all. A few are taken directly from The Culture or Halo, but most are merely inspired by them.

    I'd love suggestions for more names, of course.

    Cargo Container is one of my favourite ship names!

    But I have developed my own naming strategy, my mining ships are named after chicken curries and my distribution ships are called potato in different languages. I've not developed one for my attacking ships yet.

    Admittedly these are some of my newer names.
    My hauler has always and will always be Jetcan, and my Orca (and the Orca before that) is Kobayashi Maru.

    Well my ship names are a derivative of Home One, the Mon Cal Star Cruiser from Return of the Jedi .

    Drone Two is my Dominix named because it's my drone boat and Two because Drone One was destroyed just recently. Cry

    Home One is my Mymridon

    Miner One is my Retriver

    Salvager One is my Noctis

    Mover One is my Iteron Mark V and Mover Two is my Nereus

    and Stargazer is my Catalyst

    My ship names tend to the Latinesque. As Adhar is Amarr, it fits thematically. My covops is Tacit Noctem, for example, which loosely (and poorly, I might add) translated means the night is implied. Like, who does covert ops in broad daylight?
    #1 PvP in EVE is consensual; you consent to it when you log in.
    #2 If you're in a fair fight in EVE, somebody goofed.

    I do have a few theme names, but they are older names.

    Gallente Battleships are Shinano, Musashi and Yamato. Caldari battleships are Iowa and Missouri (for some reason never owned a Rokh so never needed a third name), and a Naga name Alaska.
    My Legions are Amodeus and Beelzebub, while my Tengus are Okami and Bakeneko. I need to think up a name for the Proteus I am getting soon.
