I gotta wonder if the Dominion ever bothered naming their vessels, or if they just gave them their equivilent of an alpha-numeric designation code.
I play as a Human captain, spaceborne, but descended from North Americans. I noticed it is an American habit to give current or former enemy planes/ships/etc some silly or less than flattering names. NATO designations for fighter jets are an example of this (Fishbed, Flanker, etc) or old Japanese planes (Zeke, Zero, Judy, Betty, etc).
Hence Bedbug. It's not flattering. It kinda makes fun of the fact that it's an enemy vessel, and the name still sticks out.
And face it... it kinda looks like a Bedbug.
As for Jem'Hadar... who knows. They probably don't care to name anything less than a capital ship. They're rather practical, down to earth bunch. Probably see ship names as superfluous. Treat them more like fighter squad designations.. but that's just a guess.
You fill in the blanks. Cryptic looked like they were getting a hold on things but the last 7 days shows they want our money with a massive profit, not just a good profit, someone wants to milk this game for the next project.
Just a random NX- designation with no name, as though it were an evaluation of captured (former) enemy technology.
Didn't know the Cardassians had so many surplus warships to give to the Federation for captains to use as 'weekend ships' anyway. Can't really justify it in canon unless there were some reparation treaty after the war (disarm in return for peace).

If I ever get one.
IF I get one...
For a Galor and/or Keldon are the only TRUE ships a Cardassian should be flying in.
Yet another poster which stipulates IF I get one. Got 32 consoles though whoooopie
I was going to name my Jem'Hadar ship the 'Bedbug', but seeing as how I was never blessed with one that won't be happening...

Name your ship something to that effect.
