What did you name your ship and why?

My (current) ship names:
* Junker- Not For Hire
Named after a riverboat from Phillip Jose Farmer's "Riverworld" series.
* Goldfish- Southern Sun
Technically named after the ship from the awful movie "Space Mutiny," as seen in the amazing Mystery Science Theater 3000. I just rather liked the way it sounded, and it fit the autumnal colors of the 'Fish.
* Spire- Because It's There
After George Mallory's (in)famous response as to why he climbed Mount Everest.
* Galleon- Henry the Navigator
After the king of Portugal who helped jump-start the Age of Discovery.
* Squid- Fortunate Son
Another one I just liked the sound of. You also need to be pretty lucky (or crazy) to fly a Squid.
* Pyramidion- Rhamses II
Duh.
* Mobula- Stavromula Beta
She's build like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro.

I love all of these.

Haha, thanks! Coming up with ship names is one of my favorite parts of the game.
I'm a big "Halo" fan, so I've also come up with a list names from that series that I'd use for my ships:
* Junker- Spirit of Fire
* Goldfish- In Amber Clad
* Spire- Pillar of Autumn
* Galleon- Truth and Reconciliation (don't know if this'll fit the character limit; if not, then it's Shadow of Intent)
* Squid- Infinity
* Pyramidion- Forward Unto Dawn
* Mobula- Long Night of Solace
Sgt. Spoon:
Nice! Huge halo fan here as well. Though I'd probably give Pillar of Autumn to the Junker. Just cause it's similarly shaped and the Autumn being quite an old ship.

Spire - Tea Cup
Can hold some strong things, but breaks easily. I was feeling particularly clever that day.
Junker - Scrapyard Jungle
That thing was seriously a nightmare to navigate around the first time I was on it.
Galleon - The Mighty Air Whale
Sort of copied someone (don't sue me please), but I found the name fitting for a massive hulking beast in the sky.
Pyramidion - The Battling Ram
When I fly this ship, I put 2 gatling guns on the front. The gatlings take down the hull armour while I chase, so that by the time I ram them, they will take serious permahull damage. It's also a minor play on words.
Mobula - The Mob Boss
I don't know why, but this name just came to me. It can pretty much control an entire battle due to it's massive vertical mobility, and it's an absolute powerhouse when you've got all the guns lined up right.
Goldfish - Tsunami
It's fast and powerful. Don't know what else to say.
Squid - Squid
I hate this ship.
