I'll restrict this to T5 ships only as those are the only ones that I named myself.
KDF Tac:

Luna Class Explorer USS Phobos - They're named after moons in the solar system, so...
Vesta Class Ship USS Akorem - They're named after hills and mountains, my Sci is Bajoran and there's an Akorem's Rock on Bajor mentioned somewhere on Memory Beta
Reman KDF Tac:
Hah'feh Escort RRW Emerald Dawn - No particular reason except that it sounded nice
Mogai Retrofit RRW Retribution - See above
Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer RRW Apocrypha - medieval latin; mostly associated with terms like "false", "bad" or "heretical" whichs seems kinda fitting considering the ship's origin.

Missing the good ol' days of PvP: Legacy of Romulus to Season 9 My List of Useful Links, Recently Updated November 25 2017!
This is the ship I served on and a Plankowner of, while I served in the U.S. Navy. All of my ships are named this and I use a prefix, I am up to F, and use S on my Mobiues Time Ship lol.
I name my federation ships after the Starcraft universe. I have the USS Jim Raynor, the Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, the Zeratul, and the Overmind.
My KDF ships I have named after WWII, like the Iwo Jima, the Bataan, the Normandy, The Witchcraft (a B-25), and the Nine-o-Nine (a B-17). Also I ran out of room naming the Queen Anne's Revenge, so I named it the Quo' Nos Revenge.
That's awesome. At least as good as my use of BSG civvie ship names,...
"Go play with your DPS in the corner, I don't care how big it is." ~ Me "There... are... four... lights!" ~Jean Luc Picard
Either Japanese figures (Yamato, Susano'o, Nobunaga, Masamune) (cruisers mainly) Norse gods (Fenrir, Loki, Fafnir, Sleipnir) (escorts mainly) or weapons from fantasy games (Caladbolg, Excalibur, Zantetsuken, Lionheart) (science vessels mainly).
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] "Look at me I'm a target!" "Fire the Lance on my mark... MARK! "How many times have we gone into the breach again R'shee?" My proposal for a Galaxy bundle
I've updated my first post in this thread again, with the names and such of new ships, and the name I myself chose for one of my previously unnamed (or rather, named by the game) Dreadnoughts.
I decided fairly early on that I needed some (semi-)sensible naming schemes for my ships.
So, I hit on the idea of using the names of pieces by some of my favourite composers. My Andorian engineer has ships named after the more obscure works of Gustav Holst; for my Vulcan science officer, I moved on to Sibelius. So, should you see an Andorian in the USS King Estmere, or a Vulcan in the USS Tapiola, that might be why.
For my human/lib-borg tac officer, I'm sort of alternating between names of hunting birds and names of angelic orders. There is a reason for this, but it's far too long and silly to go into here. Right now, you are most likely to see her flying the USS Virtue.
And, for my Romulan, I went off on another tangent and started naming the ships after female characters in Robert Graves's I, Claudius. Fortunately, it's a book with a lot of memorable female characters. At the moment, my Rom is tooling around in the RRW Messalina... one of the more memorable ones, I think.
I'm reasonably happy with this system. I do wish, though, that we were allowed a few more characters for the names! It'd be nice for my Andorian to be able to fly the Wandering Scholar or the Somerset Rhapsody. Putting my Vulcan in the USS Breaking of Ice on the Oulu River, now, I admit that would be a bit much...
Miranda Class: USS Dragonfly
It's a small ship, so, I wanted to name it after a really cool insect. Plus "Firefly" was taken.
Rhode Island Class: Free ship from the end of Risa event giveaway. I have not used this ship yet and not change the name.
Exeter Class: USS Skyborn
Dakota Class: USS Artemis
I'm starting on female characters from Greek mythology. Artemis is Apollo's twin sister, goddess of the hunt, represented by the moon, and rules over the night, which makes her a really good starship name. Artemis is the ship I am using now, and she has the photonic displacement console from the Rhode Island class, the Skyborn's ionized gas sensor and all the best goodies earned during episode missions.
I generally try to go for names that are both a reference to something I like, AND that sound like something you'd actually see in Trek.
My first character had a Doctor Who thing going on, so the ships were named after characters within the series - the USS Williams, the USS Gallifrey, and even the USS Victorious.
My Sci toon, meanwhile, is mostly tolkien reference - the Tulkas, the Yavanna, and the Varda
I tend to name my ships after famous people, so my science character's ships are named after famous computer scientists
USS Dijkstra - Named after Edsgear Dijkstra, brilliant mathematician and algorithms deviser
USS Turing - Named after Alan Turing, famous WW2 codebreaker and father of computers
USS Sethi - Named after Ravi Sethi, compilers expert
USS Manning - Named after Christopher Manning, artificial intelligence expert
My engineer's ships are named after Star Trek production crew, writers, directors and producers
USS Fontana, Constitution Class (D.C. Fontana, Writer, TOS)
USS Barret, Type-8 Shuttle (Majel Barret, Actress, TOS & ST:TNG)
USS Meyer, Miranda Class (Nicholas Meyer, Director, The Wrath of Khan)
USS Piller, Stargazer Class (Michael Piller, Writer, ST:TNG)
USS Echevarria, Galaxy Class (Rene Echevarria, Writer, ST:TNG and ST: DS9)
USS Eaves, Sovereign Class (John Eaves, Ship Designer, Sovereign class)
USS Behr, Regent Class (Ira Steven Behr, Executive Producer, ST: DS9)
USS Wolfe, Galor Class (Robert Hewitt Wolfe, Writer, ST:TNG & ST: DS9)
USS Sternbach, Delta Flyer (Rick Sternbach, Ship Designer, Intrepid, Delta Flyer, Nova, Prometheus, Vor'Cha, Negh'Var, Galor)
USS Phantasmagoria - Chimera Heavy Destroyer
USS Joumon Sugi - Dreadnought Cruiser
USS Siouxsie Sioux - Risian Corvette
USS Shooting Sun - Fleet Heavy Escort Carrier
USS Slow Dive - Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer
USS Spiral Twist - Fleet Advanced Heavy Cruiser Retrofit
USS Rickenbacker - TOS Enterprise
USS Spirit Of '76 - Heavy Escort Carrier
USS Arzach - Mobius Temporal Destroyer
USS Fountainhead - Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit
USS Azumino - Captain's Yacht
My ships names, and indeed my player names as well, are all based on a couple of themes.
1. They are all sisters (either biologically or i guess marriage, blah blah) with the last name Dionysis.
2. The last name is the greek god of wine, ecstacy, and madness.
3. All of the ship names are greek letters due to this, to tie them together.
4. the X stands for them being fleet ships or the final ships I intend to get for the character.
5. DNT was the name of the PvP guild I lead on Starsider in Star Wars Galaxies, it stands for Dreadnaught.
6. Rylana, Kailiana, Lyzara, and Dannika were the names of my Starsider Officer, Starsider Medic, Farstar Spy, and Chilastra Medic, respectively.
7. The character ships and professions ironically fit that games profession theme/role as well. Rylana is a DPS machine with a lot of survivability (fleet advanced escort), Kailiana is a sci captain specced for healing and support (fleet dhelan with sci in universal), Lyzara is a DPS romulan (fleet dhelan with tac in universal), and Dannika is a support/healer (fleet torkaht).
They all appear in my sig.

It's rather bizarre, because by complete coincidence, my friend used both of these names for his Miranda class ship.
