    I named all mine after (comparatively) obscure pieces of music by Gustav Holst.

    Light cruiser: USS Hammersmith
    Cruiser: USS Beni Mora
    Heavy Cruiser: USS Brook Green
    Exploration Cruiser: USS Egdon Heath
    Assault Cruiser: USS Savitri
    MU Star Cruiser: USS Cloud Messenger
    MU Assault Cruiser: USS Sita

    Still have a few in reserve... after I run out, I'll just switch to a different composer.

    Dictionary + m80. first scrap I find with a whole word wins. O.o naming my ships is more expensive than buying them.

    The Cutty Sark

    at first I picked Pegasus because I love Pegasus, but as I flew around some I noticed Pegasus was a rather well used name... so my passion for drinking tea made me change it to Cutty Sark.

    I'm well versed with Cutty Sark and I've always been in love with Tea Clippers, the registry for Cutty Sark is 63557 but because of the Registry restriction I chose 635570
    (Cutty Sark isn't a combat sea faring ship so I had to make it a combat vessel :D)

    I.K.S. Thermopylae = this is my KDF ship, because of the Diplomacy reward of the opposite faction Bridge Officer I got an Orion and made it my KDF toons sister and implemented a Story that Izza Do'it my KDF toon would like to see her sister and the Cutty Sark be destroyed.

    "based on the famous races between Thermopylae and Cutty Sark from China to London ladened with Tea".

    My current ship is named USS Bakunawa.

    It is from a mythological creature from my country. A Dragon that is said to be a both a Moon and Sun Eater.

    My Current Ship Reminded me of how this myth creature from my country looks like. Big and overwhelming and as far as my research goes on other myth creatures known on different parts of the world... He maybe the largest of them all not even the bible's description of the leviathan and behemoth can compare to him in size.

    Well it's just paying tribute to my country's heritage in the end. It maybe minor but because of that I get to like my country's heritage more.

    Mine is the USS Casey. As in General George Casey from M.A.C.O.

    Also in SecondLife, it's the name of a training bootcamp for the 'United Federation Starfleet Marines'. My captain, Sara Llewellyn, is a marine in that group.

    USS Illustrious. Started out as a fan ship design in 3ds max (now on its 9th model revision) and the name's kind of stuck. There have been battleships and aircraft carriers with the name.

    USS Etesia for my ships and USS Cataegis for my shuttles. Both were named as such because I came up with a species from my alien character, and it involved their language being similar to Latin - hence, Etesia is Latin for Monsoon, and Cataegis is Latin for Gale, IIRC.

    I fly a series of ships, similar to the Enterprise series, all named Protolux. Derived from the Greek "proto" meaning first and the Latin "lux" meaning light. It's supposed to be a reference to the saying "It's always darkest before dawn" and my ship is the first light after dawn.
