My current ship is the USS Fruitbowl, atm she is warping to the Xleen system in the Argelius sector.

Normally I name my ships using the format <random players name>'s Velator.

I try to name my ships after the ships in the culture novels, (Ian Banks).

I just give them numbers so if you see me flying a ship named 8 I have 7 more of the same type fitted and ready to go in the hangar.

I often go with some play on the name of ship type.

Such as:
Raven - Corax (Corvus Corax is latin for Raven)
Cormorant - Black Shag (which is a cormorant, really)
Caracal - ***** Galore (it's a cat after all)
Drake - Mallard (well, it's a duck)
Hulk - Jennifer (it's a ship, so it's a she, ergo a she-hulk, so Jennifer Walters ;))
Blackbird - Oxcart (name of the project leading to (A12) SR71 Blackbird)

And more stupid dog latin / geek names like that ;)

Edit:
Oh, struck by profanity filter, a *****cat is obviously bad ...

Mine tend to have a theme for each ship type. For example, my Vexor cruisers I use for combat are all called the Argos Vexor [Greek Letter] (where the letter changes up every time I get blown up and replace the ship). My mining ships are called the Rockhammer [letter], where the letter is the initial of the system that ship is based in.

I called a Tristan Isolde once, because I didn't have the willpower not to.

My cargo haulers are the River King (because I was thinking of a song about riverboats at the time) and Tuggy the Tugboat (because I am, in fact, five).

I've got a rifter named 'Tasty Morsel'
Jag named 'Totally not a Rifter', sometimes I'll name a rifter that too
WH Pilgrim 'Nodoze'
Rupture 'Ingersol Rand'
Gank Abby 'Facemelt Inc.'
covert ops '-☼#0╪►╓≥╪►↕◘₧╤'

My first ever cruiser hadn't even earned itsself a name before I got it blown up in the first mission I took it to, so I named my second cruiser 'Keen Overconfidence'

I'm currently missioning in the S.S. Minnow

My retriever is referred too as the LilMule
And of course my salvager is Sanford's Son

All my ships are generally called 'Spacemoship' or the PvP one's are called 'Your mum'. Mainly cos I die a lot and it's amusing for peoples combat logs/notifications to say 'Your group of heavy Pulse Laser II's deactivate as your mum begins to explode'.

Juvenile I know.....

Am I the only one who just hits something random on the keyboard, so it isnt the standard name
