What did you name your ship and why?
Myroc:
Spire - The Weatherlight - Named after the Skyship Weatherlight of Magic: The Gathering fame.
Goldfish - The Legacy - Another MtG-inspired name, this time named after the magical superweapon developed by Urza. This is the name of all my flagships in games, including GoI, FTL, Leviathan: Warships, and pretty much all games that let me name ships, so this also essentially makes it a Legacy Character to boot.
Pyramidion - The Seraph - Not actually a reference to anything specific, I just like the word.
Junker - The Warhammer - Named partially after both Warhammer 40K/Warhammer Fantasy Battle, and after the fact that its balloon kind of looks like the head of a warhammer.
Mobula - The Citadel - Because the way the hull is mounted on top of the balloon makes it look sort of like a castle built on a cliff.
Galleon - The Overlord - If I have a huge ship that isn't actually my flagship Legacy above, I give it this name, because it sounds imposing and plays into my reputation of the residential Evil Overlord in other communities.
Squid - The Heretic - Not actually a reference here either. I don't really use the Squid much. Or at all.

Pyramidion: the Sadomasochist.
I'm a Sadist, so this was fitting.
Junker: the Brazen Bull.

Duna-Wolf:
i called my pyra: Painkiller. in hounor of an intense battle i lost playing 5-0, yet i never died due to my pilot skils and good engeneering team.
i called my Junker: Jebediah. in houner of the badass astronaut in Kerbal Space Program. it looks good, it is badass, and it never dies. if you think he's dead, he Always returns. :)
furthermore i dont have named my other ships yet, but i think i will call my Goldfish: Magikarp :P

WHERES YOUR MOBULA!!!
geggis:
Mobula: The Drop Bearship -- Fun with a meme! Or should that be pun with a meme? The Mobula can be deadly and has a tendency of dropping very fast (for better and for worse). Also: pun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_bear
Galleon: My Ace -- because it's a reliable ship and sounds like Coach from L4D saying 'my ass'. I like the idea of people saying 'go for my ace' or 'my ace on the horizon'. Bart's pranks on Moe always cracked me up.
Squid: The Jiving Sky Druid -- my girlfriend was testing out her smartphone messaging and just punched in a load of random keys (with predictive or something on) and it said 'diving sky druid' but I thought she said 'jiving' which sounded cooler to me.
Junker: Dunka Dunka -- I love Magicka and 'dunka dunka' is said quite often in it. I think it means party in whatever language those wizards are speaking (Swenglish and jibberish I believe). Either way, it used to make me laugh and also: it rhymes with Junker.
Spire: Up Ship Creak -- because it dies quickly. Because it creaks a lot as I turn. Because pun.
Goldfish: Wanda -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Fish_Called_Wanda, I couldn't resist.
My pyra is still work in progress and all these names are subject to change.
