I named my pyramidion after the Kobi Levi. This is a designer from Israel who makes awesome ducky shoes!

As long as I was obliged to have duck-related ship names, I used this name for ship. It also refrs to Levi Mann, a fellow duck member.

Saull:
I think my favorite name is the for my mobula. I've always really liked the ship but when it first came out it was often regarded as too difficult to engineer/coordinate and therefore worthless despite its rather fancy exterior design and overwhelming forward firepower. So I named it Caveat Emptor which means buyer beware and is also a legal principle which states "that the buyer alone is responsible for checking the quality and suitability of goods before a purchase is made."

My Squid is named after a fancy dagger called a Kalis.
My goldfish is call Antei which a Japanese word meaning equilibrium/stability because it was my most favored ship for a while.
The Pyra and Spire just have names that reflect their design: Forward Fire and Tower Spiral
and the Junker and galleon have dumb names that seemed fitting: Reave and Von Brom

Ashunera:
I always go for names of Elegance. Here are the ones I remember off the top of my Head:

Pyramidion: Theronian (the name of a bomb in Metroid Prime 3)
Spire: Elysia (Planet from metroid prime 3, stems from Greek Elysium)
Junker: Bryyonian (From Bryyo, planet in Metroid Prime 3. can you tell I love that game yet?)
Galleon: Etria (Don't have a source, just came up with it)
Squid: Dreyfus (From henry Dreyfus, American engineer who came up for streamlining on some of the NYC's hudsons)

Golfish and mobula I cannot recall off the top of my head but they are also from elegance.
