U.S.S. Noordung- after Herman Potočnik-Noordung, wikipedia link
U.S.S. Slovenia - Slovenija, is a Sovereign class waiting for a refit to fleet version.
U.S.S. Triglav - highest mountain and symbol of Slovenia
U.S.S. Sava (shuttle) - since runabouts in DS9 were named after rivers I continued with the tradition
R.R.W. Drzna - means daring/bold in Slovene

I.K.S. Ne'varna - means dangerous in Slovene and I added an apostrophe to look more Klingon
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Nobody gets in until the Federation decides to make bigger doors.
ISS Scharnhorst - Mirror Advanced Escort, just thought a Kriegsmarine name would fit well with a Mirror Ship.
USS Royal Sovereign - Mirror Star Cruiser. The Royal Navy used this name for several ships over the last 5 centuries. It also was my main character's name on City of Heroes.
USS Bannockburn - Ambassador class refit, named after the famous battle.
USS Oklahoma - Advanced Escort, named in honor of the battleship lost at Pearl Harbor.
Older ships I rarely use...
USS Oklahoma City - ummm, this is an escort, I forget which one. My hometown, and used by the US Navy for cruisers and attack subs over the years.
USS Warspite - Ambassador class, Royal Navy usage
USS Renown - Heavy cruiser (Connie refit), Royal Navy usage
My Rihannsu alt:
RRW Lhorakis - D'Deridex, random generation, but I liked it
RRW Aen'Rhienn - T'liss class: "Bloodwing", from the book.
Never used the other ships.
My Klink alt, an 'alien' Romulan, actually. All 'traditional' Rihannsu names.

"Great War! / And I cannot take more! / Great tour! / I keep on marching on / I play the great score / There will be no encore / Great War! / The War to End All Wars"
— Sabaton, "Great War"
Most of my Feds fly the "USS Little Paradise" as their "primary endgame" ship, back in the days of SFC, a small-ish trend was started to use obscure-ish song names as shipnames, and this was my entry. Grew on me and has been the shipname ever since.
However, as I level, I go with different themes - usually thematically related to the character in question somehow...
Current main went with Poison songs as he levelled. Engie used "USS Windscry" on most every Cruiser mimicing the naming convention of the Enterprise - Connie, Connie-R, Galaxy, Sovvy (since ambassdor wasn't out when he levelled) - and had the series name appended in to skirt the "identical name block" during every level-up. Tac used the metallic dragons from D&D in "strength" order.
KDF usually gets what the RNG dishes out, and tops out in some variant of Kinshaya - based off the old FASA (maybe even Ford novel) race of "Demons" the KDF "fought". Current trend with these is to tack on a Klingon weapon name - effectively translating to "demon dagger", "Demon sword" etc.
The only Rommie that has a true trend is Bravely Bold Sir Robin's fleet - all named somehow off of things in the Monty Python movie I pulled his inspiration from. His "high end" ship is the HHG of Antioch...
Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

Admiral S'ral (Vulcan): USS Constitution (have been an ST fan since reruns of ST:TOS in the 1970s, so it seemed appropriate).
Vice-Admiral T'kav (Republican Romulan): USS Vercingetorix (seemed appropriate for her Scimitar).
General K'nesh (Orion): IKS Qu'Vik (sounded cool for an Orion Marauding Cruiser; have no idea what it means in Standard, if anything).
USS Vanguard - Fleet Sao Paulo Class - Named for an RPG ship I used to play on in an IRC Star Trek sim group.
USS Krypton - Aeon Timeship - Named for the noble gas. The USS Xenon (Delta Flyer) often joins my roster only to be replaced when another ship comes along.

RXS Afterburner - Risian Corvette - Named for the Technobot (Transformers) character in the 80s cartoon.

USS Tempest - Chimera Class Destroyer - Named after various things, but inspired by the submachine gun in Mass Effect 2.
USS Maelstrom - Avenger Class - I got this around the same time as the Tempest, and was thinking 'storms'
USS Mithras - Dyson Class - Named for a minor Roman god.
USS Europa - Odyssey Class (Tactical) - Another ship from that IRC Trek sim. This one was timed for European players in a mostly American group. Hence the name.
USS Typhon - Venture-X Class - Named after one of our servers in work. And a monster from Greek mythology.
USS Helios - Venture Class Retrofit - Named after the AI from Deus Ex
USS Logos - Fleet Gladius Class Retrofit - Named after Niobe's ship from The Matrix. Also a Philosophical belief/position.
USS Solaris - Mirror Nova Class Retrofit - Named for the Lore Circle in the Lone Wolf series of gamebooks by Joe Dever
USS Aquila - Fleet Tempest Class - Named for Connor's ship in Assassin's Creed 3.

USS Aurora. The naming scheme I adopted during leveling was mythological figures (Prometheus, Jupiter, etc.). Aurora was the Roman goddess of the dawn.
Ive been running a theme for my Fed Tac Officer...
Captain Jack Aubrey of the (now t6 escort) USS Surprise.
It was a tac escort Retrofit which Ive kept and is named the USS Lively
I also have a USS Leopard. My shuttle is named the USS Sophie, Jack Aubreys first command and smallest ship.
To maintain a theme my chief medical officer/intelligence guy is Stephen Maturin
The rest of my BOFFs are likewise themed from the book series of Patrick Obrian fame about the British Navy in Napoleanic Wars.
My Klingons...is Cae'Sar flying the Praetorian
I do have a Science Fed named A'sharad Hett flying the USS Tusken of star wars reference but he is low leveled.
Story-wise, Eleya flies the USS Bajor. Galaxy-class starship named after her home planet (because that was the theme for that production series).
In-game, the USS Andraste (Avenger-class) after an Icenian war goddess.
Brokosh has the IKS HoSbatlh, a Tor'Kaht-class. The name comes from the Klingon words for "strength" and "honor", here meaning personal integrity, scruples and principles (which is why I say that the Klingon Empire has none, no matter how much they babble about it). It's derived from the random name list for Negh'Var-class ships in Star Trek: Armada.
Morgan flies the RRW Aen'rhien. That's Romulan for "bloodwing", originally referring to a Vulcan bird of prey, later used for one of the colony ships used by the Romulans during the Sundering, and eventually transferred to a Romulan bird similar to a vulture. It's also the name of the ship that belonged to Ael t'Rllaillieu in the Rihannsu novels.
"Great War! / And I cannot take more! / Great tour! / I keep on marching on / I play the great score / There will be no encore / Great War! / The War to End All Wars"
— Sabaton, "Great War"
Dyson Science Destroyer- USS Oppenheimer, named for American Scientist who ushered in the Atomic age
"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
USS Pike - Sovereign Class (should be self-explanatory to any Trek fan)
USS Aldrin - Defiant Class (sounded better than "USS Buzz")
USS Icarus - Ambassador Class (obvious mythology reference, but I'm also an Iron Maiden fan)
USS Austin - Danube Runabout (for the finest city in the Lone Star State)
The ships that I have used throughout the game: (I only have one toon)
USS Ragnarok - NCC-91662 - Constitution Class (Ragnarok from Final Fantasy VIII)
USS Ragnarok - NCC-91662-A - Constitution Class Refit (same)

USS Gemini - NCC-91886 - Gladius Class (being a small ship, I made it an homage to the Sagittarius from the Vanguard series)
If I ever get a carrier, I'll probably name it the USS Dogosse Giar - NCC-91087 (Dogosse Giar from Zeta Gundam)

USS Ragnarok - NCC-91662-A - Constitution Class Refit (same)
USS Argama - NCC-91782 - Excelsior Class (Argama from Zeta Gundam)
USS Archangel - NCC-91105 - Galaxy Class (Archangel from Gundam Seed)
USS Ra Cailum - NCC-91093 - Sovereign Class (Ra Cailum from Gundam: Char's Counterattack)
Those were my progressing through the story ships, at this point I have two ships that I main.
USS Argama - NCC-91782-A - Dakota Class (Once again, Argama from Zeta Gundam. Considering this is the second Argama, I considered naming it the Nahel Argama)
USS Gemini - NCC-91886 - Gladius Class (being a small ship, I made it an homage to the Sagittarius from the Vanguard series)
If I ever get a carrier, I'll probably name it the USS Dogosse Giar - NCC-91087 (Dogosse Giar from Zeta Gundam)
