U.S.S. Chin'toka - Jham'Hadar Attack Ship (because the battle of Chin'toka was a great one)
U.S.S. Kittymeow Accord - Vor'cha Fleet Ship (because of Khitomer Accord STF and because of Ferasan toon)

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

Light Cruiser- U.S.S. Richard Pearse - Named for the famed pioneer of aviation.
Science Vessel - U.S.S Michelle Forbes - Named after the actress who played Ro Laren, whom my character is based off.
Research Science Vessel - U.S.S Lord Rutherford - Named after Lord Ernest Rutherford, the father of nuclear physics and one of the great scientists of the 19th-20th centuries.
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 )
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".
All of my ship names are weapon skills from ffxi.
Asuran fist
Howling fist
Heavenly strike
Vorpral blade
Slugshot
My shuttle is one inch punch
Oh and one ship was my linkshell from ffxi
"kiss the rings"
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.
USS Endeavour - Sovereign Class Starship. Named for one of the space shuttles, and also a ship mentioned by name at the beginning of Star Trek:First Contact.
[Edit to add] USS Equinox - Delta Class Shuttle. Named for Starship of the same name lost in the Delta Quadrant (In manuscript, given to Empress of Pentaxian Dynasty as a coronation present, but shot down and destroyed during demonstration flight...)

U.S.S. Knoxville - my adopted second hometown
U.S.S. Maryville - nice little town outside of K-ville.
U.S.S. Raleigh - My Oddy named after a big city I like.
U.S.S. Nashville - Mirror Sovy named after another big city in TN.
Basically, all named after cities in TN/NC.
Gatlinburg, Chattanooga.
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.
I fly the Mirror Temporal Destroyer "I.S.S. Four Lights"

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.
U.S.S. Falkirk, NCC-1298
Heavy Escort Carrier

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.
Ive renamed all mine after the nines muses, goddesses of the inspiration of literature, science and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge, related orally for centuries in the ancient culture that was contained in poetic lyrics and myths.
although i still have my shuttle as "IKS Soup Dragon"
