Halycon is a time that is happy and good. Like, Halycon days are good days in the past.
In mythological connection, its apparently a "a mythical bird said by ancient writers to breed in a nest floating at sea at the winter solstice, charming the wind and waves into calm." which is a wonderful thing for an airship crew.

Lanliss:
I knew about the happy days thing, but that is some interesting mythology. What region does the myth come from?

Indreams:
I don't know about region. Probably Northern Europe.

It's a bird that brings good weathers. Halycon.

Hoja Lateralus:
Once I saw a ship filled with "Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy" related names, so there was Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, etc.

One time I called my Goldfish "Slartibartfast" just for da lulz

Also once I saw guy called "Colonel Mustang". Anime fans will know :P

Lanliss:
I know. I have also seen a guy named Natsu Dragneel. I think. I might be remembering wrong.
