Yeah that was a factors as well. Mainly cause I screamed like Zim the entire time I was using it.
Mr. Bishop:
I'm still a novice, so I only use three ships so far, and I like to change their names a lot. I make their names as references. If you can tell me what they reference, I'll give you a cookie.

Dr Brobotnik:
I don't name it, simply because I don't pilot a ship. I have no faith at all in my ability to lead competent people into battle. I don't even know how to make a ship go up and down, and I'm close to 300 games. I just prefer to be an engineer - that hard working rat who scurries around the ship and helps everyone wherever he can =) It's hard to not love engineers for the effort they put in, and I both receive and try to share that love in abundance. It's all I need =)

I named mine after the 7 virtues. Being a Catholic, I've always enjoyed the writing and stories of some of my religions scholars. I wanted to try and almost romanticize my ships with one of the greatest themes of the Roman Catholic Church.
Temperance Spire: Lumberjack, Hades, Light Flack, Mine Launcher
"In knowledge is temperance, in temperance is endurance, in endurance is godliness." 2 Peter 1:6
The definition of temperance is self-restraint. I think that is a apt name for this ship, as a Spire must have plenty of self-restraint to do well. It is a ship that requires control and modesty. It is also my favorite ship in the game :D
Diligence Junker: Meta; 2 Artemis, hades, gat, mortar
"May God, who has caused his Name to dwell there, overthrow any king or people who lifts a hand to change this decree or to destroy this temple in Jerusalem. I Darius have decreed it. Let it be carried out with diligence." Ezra 6:12
Diligence means persistent in your work. This Junker will be persistent in its job. Hurts you from far away, kills you up close.
Chastity Pyramidion: Meta; Gat, mortar, flamethrower, beacon
"For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders." Matthew 15:19
Chastity basically means no sex outside marriage. This is a bit of an ironic name, because, you know, the pyra likes to ram.....hue hue
Charity Goldfish: Lumberjack, flamethrower, beacon flare
"For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in." Matthew 25:35
I actually named this ship its name because of its lack of killing power versus disabling. I view that as charitable
Kindness Mobula:Gat, Mortar, Hades, Light Flak, Mine launcher
"I led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love, And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; And I bent down and fed them." Hosea 11:4
Killing people with kindness.
Patience Galleon: 2 Lumberjacks (same side), Hwacha, Heavy Carronade, gat (side gun), light carronade.
"Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary." Galatians 6:9
Being that the Galleon has the acceleration of a tuna sandwich, I thought this name would fit quite well.
Humility Squid: Mortar, flamethrower, mine launcher
"It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly Than to divide the spoil with the proud." Proverbs 16:19
I am a terrible squid pilot, which is why I named this ship its name. It is a ship that truly humbles me if I ever get a big head.
Anyway, thats all of them. :D
