I think the name of a spaceship should be unique

I think it would be quite hard. You try telling someone in the western spiral arm that they can't call their ship something because someone in the eastern spiral arm has already registered that name

It would not be more difficult than the name of commander
Considering we will be dying in the beginning quite often, do you give your new ship a new name, or you add a number to the name? Like "Nostromo XVIII"
Numbers for sure. With my chosen Zappa naming scheme I will therefore be able to get to "One Size Fits All III"

Except that you don't change your commander name every time you trade up, unless you're planning on having the same name for all of your ships...
But I take your point.
Yea "The end's of invention" (Consider Phlebas) for yourAnaconda.only for FD to introduce something twice the size the following week.
Many descendants
Some you can still visit
they can be found plastered on the walls of Azeban city. "He lived(and died) to boost"
There could be a relation of one to several (1N). For a name of commander, several names of spaceships

The tourist Mecca in the galaxy then
That will just lead to a load of Mi113nium Fa1c0n type names for no good reason
Let people call their ship what they want, it's the lesser of two evils.
I think they'll have a unique registration number anyway.
A nice idea - I like the idea of ship names, however what about duplicate names?
A registration before the name might solve this - how about having a slightly different registration depending on your allegiance, such as:
Empire: ESS100 'Victory'
Independent: ISS100 'Victory'
Federation: FSS100 'Victory'
The number could go up for each ship with that name.
Edit - darn it - too late!
