What did you name your ship and why?
HamsterIV:
Renamed my Goldfish from "Golden Phoenix" to "Externus Exterminatus." The "Golden Phoenix" no longer has its flame wings and I am loathed to call it a Phoenix if it doesn't have flame wings. Also its the name of Inquisitor Vale's private ship from the Caphias Cain 40K novels.
Lord Dick Tim:
Ahhh the hero of the Imperium.

For those few who have not seen one of my boats flying around, here are my names that I really havent changed since I named them. THey tell a story both individually and as a whole of my early exploits in piloting.
Goldfish - Then it caught fire - I would always manage to catch fire in this boat. Probably since a side gun normally included a flamer.
Pyramidion - And i got shot - Got shot alot in this. It was also my first ever boat to fly.
Spire- We didnt survive - Its a Spire, hard to argue the name.
Galleon - Then it was fixed - This was the first boat i piloted out the gate and didnt get obliterated. Thus the uplifting name.
Junker- But then it broke - Love it to death but there is always something broken on it.
Squid - However we died - My first squid experiences were iffy, but by then i had been piloting for awhile. Good times.

Named my Goldfish the H.M.S. Nicholas Cage for absolutely no reason. Likewise, my Pyramidion is The Pie In The Sky. I suppose I went for the humorous approach rather than following any sort of logic... :P

I like to keep mine all in the same theme.
My ships are all named after Conceptual Fish from the book The Raw Shark Texts.

Spire: Aptiphage
Pyramidion: Ludovician
Member of the Cognicharius family, a species of predatory, purely conceptual fish that flow in the rivers of human knowledge. They are solitary, territorial and see only people, especially the ones they are hunting. It eats memories and is the biggest and most aggressive of the conceptual animals—rogue males sometimes focus on one food source. They are impossible to keep alive in captivity once they become adults and evolve totally naturally. They can grow as long as thirty notional lumens from snout to tail. First catalogued in 1839 by USC Capt. John Lewis. Myths: ancient Native Americans believed that these great dream fishes consumed all of the dreams, memories, events and identities of the people would be consumed and stored within the Ludovician. -- from https://rawsharktexts.pbworks.com/w/page/13023547/Conceptual-Fish -- http://www.myspace.com/ludovicianband/photos/3887681
