I do hope Xbox Horizons comes with a gold Asp Explorer like I have.

Did you have to buy the Alphabet pack multiple times to get multiples of the same letters? Just asking because I've been considering for some time now.
My ASPX the "Amelia Rose" is named after one of my nieces.... And my sister has five children, so I have a few more names ready as my fleet expands.
Plus I thought it sounds a bit like an Eddie Stobart Lorry!!!

Nope. You buy it once and it's unlimited availability. Any amount or combinations of letters/numbers/characters on any amount of ships.

Where to start
I name all my ships and they pretty much all mean something so here is my entire fleet, names, and brief descriptions:
http://inara.cz/cmdr-fleet
My main ship is the DBX named Sally Ranger. She was named Sally because A) it's a feminine name which gives it a bit of personality and B) in some definitions it means a path, course, travel, etc. because of it's solid exploration abilities. The Ranger means what it usually means: patrols/protects/explores regions.
So to me it means a travelling guardian, and a guardian of travellers.

Lol never thought of it like that
The Ship With No Name MKII
Just so I can say Ive been across the Galaxy in a ship with no name (it felt good to be out of the rain)
MKII Because the first one was destroyed by a cmdr
I have various other oddly named ships-
My DBE is the Moist Von Lipwig (I was reading a lot of terry pratchett at the time and the gold colour didnt help)
My Cobra is Bessie (feels very homely)
My Python is Monty (obvious British comedy reasons)
My Haulers are named after the space shuttles
My Clipper is called the Tydirium (Starwars references ftw)
And my vulture is called Spock (I kept on calling it a vulcan by accident)

So I have a little fleet on the go
mk3 cobra 'the lucky lady' she is my go to ship at the mo fitted for multirole. Name wise, ships are all female and she's been very lucky getting me out of a few scrapes in my game time.
hauler Universal Exploration Ship Beagle 3 my first exploration vessel named after hms beagle and the beagle to Mars probe
viper mk3 'the spirited attempt' first pure combat/BH named the spirited attempt for trying to take out a elite conda with npc help, it was sloppy and over all just a spirited attempt rather than god like combat
Type-6 'the MS venture horizon' named in the same vein as a commercial shipping vessels in RL
and on top of these I have a adder, viper mk4, sidey and a eagle but they are not really named of yet

One of my favorite ship names is Gypsy Beaver mostly just because it sounds funny.
Gypsy because I only use it to travel around the galaxy and Beaver as in busy beaver (as in always on the move). Almost a tiny bit redundant, but not really. Named so because I only fly it for jumping from place to place to turn in data/bounties, to entertain myself with some sportly flying, or to go out exploring.

Onionhead is always relevant. [wacky]
My ships are:
BSE Wintermoor, an Anaconda. Named for the town my 1st D&D character was from.
BSE Whysper, an Asp Explorer. Named for its sneaky nature.
BSE Spaceworthy Sofa, a Fer-De-Lance. So named because it's a big, comfy cruiser I only own for Style Points.
BSE Aluminum Albatross, a DBX. The name is a "drunken salute" to the Millennium Falcon of Star Wars fame.
I intend to purchase a Python in the next few weeks as well. Pictures pending- I'm in deep space ATM, can't see my other ships from here.
