What do you name your ships and why?
Hoja Lateralus:
Apparently two threads about ship names in The Lounge were not enough.

Taken from another thread with some slight updating
--- Quote from: DJ Logicalia on January 02, 2015, 11:49:01 pm ---All of my ships (minus my Junker) were named after personal affects of existential philosophers
Pyra: Albert Camus' Coat: Algerian born, french philosopher, Albert Camus just might be my favorite thinker of all time. And the French are nothing if not good dressers. Look at that man's coat
Squid: Kierkegaard's Collar: Another one of may favorites, and that guy had a big collar
Galleon: MUS Kafka's Hairgel: Kafka had some tidy hair. He had to hold that mess down with something
Junker: MUS Tipz n Trix: Named for Bard founder, friend, and Sensei to all the early Bards who has since been eaten by Dota 2
Spire: Dostoevsky's Beard: Brilliant Russian novelist and owner of a pretty rad beard. The spire is long and kinda beardlike. Plus, it's fun to say FEAR THE BEARD whenever I 1v1 a metamidion with my gat/flak spire
Mobula: William James' Eyes: One of the most important figures in early psychology and a philosopher with a pretty intense gaze.
Goldfish: Nietzsche's Stache: Because of Nietzsche and his lovely facial hair. Doubles as a shoutout to Nietzsche's Mustache from [Clan] Clan Clan (who also has some great ship names)
--- End quote ---
Where it fits, I added MUS in front of my ship names, as it was the very first Bard clan tag.
Recently I've changed the name of my spire to La Peste which is the French name for the book The Plague by Albert Camus. It's a fantastic piece of work.
PixelatedVolume:
I named my junker George B. Wylith for no other reason than I thought it was a cool name when I made it up.
My galleon is Hippopotamus because that's just how it feels to me.
I use a variety of puny/load out specific names on my goldfish.

What are you talking about?! [MUS]gods dont exist!
So I did put out my ship names last time, but I didnt explain all. In no particular order:
Squid - Greasy Dream
Once I joined the Iron Fork Of Friday in a doublemerc pyra. I got along with Squiggly Bandit, it's pilot anfd we've formed for a few matches after that. Once he was telling the crewmen, "Bring greased rounds, I want that grease aaaall over this ship." It quickly evolved into a series of sexual innuendos, and since then Greasy Dream represents my desire to find Squiggly in real life, take off his clothes by force and rub grease aaaaalll over him.
Galleon - Industrial Nightmare
The older brother of Greasy Dream. I came up with this name while I was literally looking at the galleon with the intention of coming up with a name- and then noticed the two giant pipes sticking out from it's starboard that pumps steam out every so often. Made it look Pirate-ey, so Nightmare fits okay aswell.
Pyramidion - St. Glaswegian Kiss
This one was suggested by a friend. Glaswegian Kiss I believe is a slang for a headbutt with the literal intention of breaking one's face.
Goldfish - Jessica Nabar'O
This one has quite the story behind it. It was the character name of a friend in a Starship Troopers Roleplay server whom was a Petty Officer 2nd Class (NCO) of the Federal Fleet and had somewhat of an adorance for Ravens. He also is the one who suggested Glaswegian Kiss and has had dreamed of a black dyed Raven decal'd fleet of his own at one point, so when Raven Skull was added I made an effort to make his dream come true (except he doesnt play often anymore)
Junker - Bag of Chips
Self explanatory, I once Hydro'd my balloon to death in an attempt to "open the bag" with this thing.
Spire - Tourist Attraction
Spire is just nearly impossible to hide sometimes.
Mobula - I'm currently still on a naming journey with this ship, will post when I find a name I'd like.
