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.

Especially since my Squid enjoys a similar theme .D

Goldfish - The Joyous Whippoorwill (Shortened to TheJoyousWhippoorwil after patch)
The whippoorwill is a bird which shouts its name. In H.P. Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", it is said when a man dies and their soul is cast away, the whippoorwills try to catch it. If they do, they sing with joy. If they don't, they slink back, sad.
Junker - Flighted Wahrk
Named after my favorite sea creature in the Myst series due to its similarity in shape and shark related name. It makes an appearance in Riven.
My other ship names after these tend to change now and then.
Galleon - Stolen Star
I just liked the imagery and concept.
Pyrmidion - Sharptooth (Sometimes Umbrellamouth)
Sharptooth, cause it has such a pointy front end. Umbrellamouth because the Umbrella Mouthed Gulper Eel my favorite deep sea animal, and the Pyrmidion's shape reminds me of its head.
Squid - Hatchetfish
Just a smallish cool scary deep sea fish
Spire - Skyward Fist
Sounds cool and it kinda looks like one.
N-Sunderland:
I've changed all my ship names to reflect my joining of the Ducks.
Junker: Ugly Duckling
Junkers are pretty damn ugly, aren't they?
Pyramidion: Duck Pharoah
It's a pyramid, and pharoahs are buried in pyramids. Makes sense.
Galleon: Steel Drake
A drake is a male duck
Goldfish: Aquaduckt
Yeah, a bit silly
Squid: Aerodynamic Duck
Squids are fast and sleek, so I thought this was fitting
I haven't renamed my Spire yet.
Helmic:
Currently my only ship is the Poop Deck Pricker, a Pyramidion that enjoys pricking poop decks. It's pretty great for a new captain like myself, though I'll have to give it up and fly a Goldfish to get that damn achievement.
