Nope, I like them and I don't have the nostalgia of 1984 Elite either.
Everything even in real life uses names of something too, for example the Helldiver, Falcon, Bluebird, these are aircraft named after birds. This is just the way us humans go about language and naming things.
Even in other games it uses certain naming themes, I'm going to use EVE as an example since it's a space game and has cool names for ships, certain races will have their ships named after a certain theme, such as Caldari having names of winged creatures or mythlogical creatures, from the Chimera capital ship, to the Blackbird ECM ship, the Osprey, Tengu, etc. The Gallente have their own theme of Greek mythology such as Helios, Ishkur, Eris, etc. Then the Minmatar have Norse mythology names (durr, CCP is Icelandic any ways
), such as Nidhoggur, Muninn, Huginn, etc, and then it also uses canine names for some ships like Wolf, Hyena, Cheetah, etc. They also use different parts for different types/tiers, for e.g the Norse mythology names are reserved for larger ships like capital ships or very specialised ships, where as the other smaller ships like frigates use canine names.
They're just naming themes and Elite has its own that it adopts and also is reflected in the design of ships, like the Cobra looking like a snake head. I like Elite's, and it should stay.
