My T-10 is named "She Chonk". Every ton added increases her beauty.
Your favourite ship names. Let's all point and laugh.
- Thread starter Borko
- Start date
My Challenger is called the Purple Urple
My first Corvette was called "Premature Eradication", it died on the job.
All my ship names are generally references to stupid stuff I like.
I’ve got a bright green Challenger called “Star Bug”
A royal blue Type 7 called “Blue Midget”
A bright red Imp Eagle called “Swordfish II”
An all Burst Laser & huge MC Mamba called “Disco 3000” with the reg CLB-KD
An all MCs & Pack Hounds FDL called “Jet Jaguar”
And a Corvette called “Gotengo”
I’ve got a few other ships but their names are all still subject to change until I find something that sticks.

Well, my Krait-II is Xeno's Paradox, which I thought was quite clever. However - some of my other ships:
My I-Cutter has the Azure paint job and I named her Ice Queen, but after ONE pax mission with it I renamed her Dammit Turn Already.
My Beluga was originally named Emerald Windancer but after discovering how well it enters Stations, it was quickly renamed 1-ship Mailslot Block.
My Corvette, which is actually named HMCS Algonquin has recently - after loading a ton of G5 frags onto her - been re-named Male Overcompensation.
My T-9 was Continental Drift and was recently renamed Hippoposthumous.

I have a CZ fighting ship named "The Primary" (a wonderful Alliance Challenger). I'm always looking over my shoulder because an NPC lady in the CZs always shows up and says she has a lock on it! 
It's ID plate is ID-10T.

The Hipster Scourge - Because the Corvette is not actually as rare or unique as its description would imply
Corporate Raider - FAS I used to use to hack installations
Dora the Exterminator - T-10 that is meant for exploration/mining expeditions. I don’t use it much, though
HMS Windbag - FGS that I used to have ages ago. I just thought the name was funny
Edit: and on my alt, when I had to name the starting Freewinder, I went with “Trapezoid”. Ship ID: A-TRAP

My fun ships name is in my signature. I have others but they usually involve various plays on words for winkys and poopoo holes.
For some reason my sig has been disabled....
Now it's back.

A selection from my garage, some more or less witty, some derived from pieces of music:
Fortification Cutter with Black Friday paintjob: "Stolen from Granny"
FdL for some occasional PvP: "Please don't hurt me"
Undermining Corvette: "Spirit of Mbambiva" (with kind regards to AD)
Multirole passenger Corvette: "Interstellar Overdrive"
Full frag multirole Python: "Child in Time" (Bow your head, wait for the ricochets)
Full PA battle Krait: "The End"

Well, since some of my names are taken from KLF songs/references some of them are amusing.
Like a combat ship called What Time is Love?
A trading type 9 called It Must be Obvious
Mining ship called Its Grim Up North
Repair/refuel ship called Doctor in the Tardis
And the strangely named Cindy and the Barbies (harkning back to song from a band Bill Drummond was in in the 1970s - Cindy and the Barbie Dolls by Big in Japan)

I know this sounds odd (and perhaps a little anal) but I always call my ships female names and the first letter starts with the type of ship. So, I have:
Sally Sidewinder
Elissa Explorer (AspX)
Alexis Anaconda
Carly Cutter
Collie Courier
Vicki Vulture
Clara Clipper
Freda Fer-De-lance
Chloe Cobra
Debbie Dolphin
Olivia Orca
Pria Python
Katie Krait (Krait mk2)
There was only 1 that I didn't give a girls name but found it too catchy not to choose:
Goosey Gunship
Sally Sidewinder
Elissa Explorer (AspX)
Alexis Anaconda
Carly Cutter
Collie Courier
Vicki Vulture
Clara Clipper
Freda Fer-De-lance
Chloe Cobra
Debbie Dolphin
Olivia Orca
Pria Python
Katie Krait (Krait mk2)

Most of my ships are named after bands, song titles or cool classic sci-fi ship names.
My favourite is my FdL: Groove Hammer
Named after a track and album by the commedy groove metal UK band: The Hell.

Named my T9 after this pub in Kidderminster...
My Krait is called ‘Solivagant’, which means ‘a solitary wanderer. A person who revels in the act of wandering alone–preferably in destinations and locations they have not previously visited.’
I decided that this made for a near perfect ship name for Elite Dangerous.
