When teaching new pilots about eve and PvP I suggest renaming their ship to that of a former girl/boyfriend....
That way when it goes BOOM your kinda happy about it.

Edited by: Helena Shun on 02/01/2009 22:45:55 Edited by: Helena Shun on 02/01/2009 22:44:57 I use the following format:
ABC-01D
Where A is the first letter of the ship's race... (or corporation in case of ORE ships) B is the first letter of the class of ship... (In case of collision, use acronyms) C is the first letter of the type of ship... (In case of collision within same class and race, use first few letters). 01 is a fitting indicator used to track fittings... D is a letter incrementing after each ship bought (if required, another letter is appended, representing a base 26 number for ships numbering above 26)...
So, for example, my second moa (Caldari Cruiser) using my fitting labeled 6 would be called CCM-06B
My tenth gallente shuttle (Shuttle craft, shuttle class) would be called [here is a special case since no fitting is applicable, it is using label 00] GSS-00J
My first amarr Abaddon (Battleship) using fitting 1 would be called ABsAb-01A
Not a perfect naming scheme, but it does the job.

I normally give my industrial ships (think freightorz hulks and the lot) just some stupid random names... Hulk is named Om Nom Nom Nom for example and my obelisk is named Koelkast (fridge) and my industrial sized haulers are just Mover I, II etc..
as for my other ships they normally go after a faction from my story, the ORS. and mostly with mythology (flagship name is ORS Atlantis, another is Sparta etc.) Cheers, Faros

I name my ships after discworld characters. I have most of the main characters from Ankh-Morpork already, I might have to get new ships just to be able to use more names.
Rincewind is the name of my badger mk 2 that has warp core stabs to help it run away.
Sergeant Colon, is the dependable but slow, and long employed Raven.
There's more of course, the Drake was named after lord Vetinari, some don't really have a reason, but I like Carrot Ironfounderson for the Hulk and Corp. Littlebottom for the mackinaw.
I rarely have time to do nothing but think about names any more but when I did I took it seriously.

I usually name them according to the certain ship characteristics or sometimes other peoples oppinions. I don't care about being scanned down as I almost always fit a cloak. Moa "Looks Like Crap" Drake "FC's Hate Me" Nighthawk "No Grid" Scorp "Primary" Kitsune "Toe Jam" Raven "Cruise!ROFL!" Hawk "lolWut??"

Originally by: Vall Kor And if so, how do you choose the name?
I name mine after British WWII ships.
In PvP, always rename your ship. The Culture ship names is my favorite.
Banks is brilliant with his names.
All my ships' names are sentence fragments from any random song I happen to have in my head at the time.
oh , the culture ship names is the best: "liveware problem" "now we try it my way" "don't try this at home" "you'll clean that up before you leave" "subtle shift in emphasis"
my nyx is named Banzai Butterfly , after a song by the swedish group quit your dayjob. The lyrics go something like this: "die die butterfly , die die butterfly , banzai butterfly....." I am always yelling it in PvP :-D . you'll never jump alone

My names have "Rocket" in them, and a characteristic of the ship.
Providence = 0.001MN Rocket. Abaddon = Laser Guided Rocket. Typhoon = Rocket Trash Can.

I usually go by the look of the ship for inspiration. unless it's gonna be a PvP ship then it gets a number.
Navy Megathron: Obsidian Knight Enyo: Sir Galahad Ishkur: Minimum Maximum All Itty's: NPC Decoy
Currently thinking up a suitable name for an Ishtar and Deimos. Thinking Something Insect-like for the Ishtar Because of the carapace.
I do think the names Iain M Banks comes up with for culture ships is amazing. Gunboat Diplomat being one of my faves.

I usally name my ships after gods/goddess, sometimes Ill throw a violent gods name at a transport or the reverse.
For mission ships, I generally put a desingator infront of it, so like a Kestrel would be FFG-#(for what ship number it is, I have a list of what ships have what fittings) NAME.
Its worked so far. ~~~~~

Usually, but not always. Often in a Culture ship style, but sometimes functionally, or occasionally just strangely. All depends. Ruf. |

Originally by: TimMc Yes, simply to make scanning me down harder.
Usually entertaining things like references to films or tv shows, or just copy the name of an asteroid field.
yep, basically this, makes it harder to find YOU
you could be that noob in local, or you could be that -10.0 pirate, or that one guy w/ 20 corp mates in system
i name my ships random things, if i cant find a name though, i just re-copy the name, naming my Thorax Thorax, lol
although sometimes i do come up w/witty names
like i named my new vexor "Thorax is Better" lol simply because i prefer blaster ships
my myrm is called "Yay for Symettry\0/" because its actualy symetrical
EDIT:
lol, a bit offtopic, but when i was in the gallente milita, one of our members had a raven named "OMGwhatamIflying"

All my ships saying something clever like "Crap I died it's my" so that it says "Crap I died it's my wreck" when I lose it, or I'll call it "I'M PETITIONING" or something. But when I'm in 0.0 I'm all about calling myself a "Sansha's Devil Wreck" Also, I hate the signatures that make you think it's part of their post, only to tell you it's their sig after reading the entire thing. |

Originally by: Tollen Sendek I like to name my Ships with stuff that come out of Warhammer 40K novels myself :)
I now have a basic frig called "Hawk of Asaheim" after some Space Wolf Thunderhawk, a frig called "Bellus", and so on...
For heavier ships I like to use stuff like "Wrath of Pardua", "Divine Retribution" and the like :)
I like using 40k stuff to like titan names and warships some of the starship names from star wars fluff are pretty cool to.

I usually name with something unrelated that tells me about the setup of that ship, for example, roaming HACs and Ceptors tend to be called something cell phone related (or mobile as we call it in the UK).
So I have a Cerberus called Vodafone and a Vaga called T-Mobile - gets some interesting comments in local :>
