What did you name your ship and why?
Chango:
Squid : The Owls Head
Named after the town along the Maine coast that my wife and I have a family cottage, which we had our wedding at. The town is home to a transportation museum, so antique cars and airplanes(even bi-planes!) are always around. Lots of sailboats pass by on their way to Rockland.
Goldfish - The Ifrit : Named after the Final Fantasy's fire guardian Ifrit. Always packing flamethrowers and having to slam opponents when needed.
Pyramidion - The Bahamut : Named after Final Fantasy's King of Dragons Bahamut. The shape of the pyra reminds me of a dragon's head.
Junker - The Highwind : Yeah I'm not very original... Final Fantasy VII's famous airship.
Spire : Usually a joke name, currently - Chango Unchained
Galleon: Originally known as The Behemoth, I changed the name to The Goliath when I joined The Gentlemen.
Commissar AJ:
Squid: Spirit of Dyxy (Dixie)
My dog's name is Dixie, and seeing that the ship was fast and excellent at high-maneuverability harassment, it seemed fitting.
Goldfish: Little Wyvrn
The inspiration came from the old F-Zero X games, namely James McCloud's machine. But being that a Wyvrn (Wyvern) is a mythical, winged dragon, it seemed to fit.
Galleon: Steadfast Allegiance
As I saw the Galleon isn't one for moving at all, hence Steadfast, and Allegiance referring to staying loyal to the task at hand (pwnin n00bz lawl).
Junker: Leviathan
"...it kind of looks like a whale..."
Leviathan
Spire: Derp of Days Yon
I dislike the Spire. No offense to those who prefer it, but I don't like the layout, I don't like the way it handles, I don't like the way it looks. Plus they just seem to go down as if they're made of tin foil. I don't play with this airship.
Pyramidion: Loyalty
I've always liked the single-adjective names for ships. So I picked the one adjective I admire most in others, and try to follow in myself.
It's also a reference to something else... That's all I'm going to say about that.
SeaMichelle:
All my ships have the prefix "IAS Silver" because "IAS" = "Icarus Airship" and I think "silver xxxxx" sounds cool. Silver Surfer, can't go wrong with that. And their names are all related to the ship.
Junker - Scrap, because "junk". I know. I'm super clever and original.
Pyra - Dagger, because it looks like a dagger...
Goldfish - Swimmer. Do I need to explain?
Spire - Tower. It's a flying tower. Not a ship. Wulfies don't fly towers.
Galleon - Monster. Because it's big...
Squid - Dinner. For the other team.

My junker and your junker are going to have a little talk.
