I will never be able to have a ship that is not named by my research."One Hand Clapping"
"Unofficially Loaned"
However if it is a second-hand ship, in this case I will keep the original name if it is acceptable to my taste.

SWAIN - Ship Without an Interesting Name
I have some amazing names and ideas. Thank you everyone. You really have helped... o7
A lot of mine are either directly named after Culture ships ("Only Slightly Bent") or named in a Culture-ish fashion ("Surface Tension").
Good list of them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spacecraft_in_the_Culture_series
One will endeavour to fulfil this obligation..
If it's an exploration ship, how about "Re:gal Traveller" or "Re:aching the Stars"?
Or, if it's a mining ship, there's "Re:venue Generator"
If you've always wanted a Cutter, you could call it "Re:alised Dreams"
If it's a combat ship, there's "Re:quiem Mortis" or, perhaps, "Re: placement Killer"
If you want to highlight the cost you could call it "Re:cent Windfall"
If you want to name it after a real-world ship you could call it "Re: pulse"

Stick frags and short range blaster mod weapons on it. Basically anything that requires being close to a target.
Then call it Cuddle Bunny.

I tend to name my combat oriented ships using names and hull numbers mostly from World War 1 / World War 2 famous ships.
For small ships, i use destroyers.
For medium ships, i use light / heavy cruisers.
For big ships, i will use battleships / battlecruisers.
As an example, my Mk4 Viper is named Kidd ( WW2 American destroyer ). Her id is DD-661.
Only problem with that is that hull numbers are hard to find for anything but US Ships.
For exploration / mining vessels i've yet to find a good rule. It's more difficult to find historical famous ships ( expecially for the mining / transport categories )

That's nice ! I like that.
You are CMDR Shivvi? I believe you are in my friend list. Don't remember why though... Communism Interstellar maybe?
I am yeah... not in CI though... I seem to recall we were in an ad-hoc PG together a couple of years ago
I named all of my ships after ships I like from the world of sci-fi, usually because they resemble that ship in some way. (without being too obvious like Enterprise or Millennium Falcon)
