Oh oh, I'ma do this as my introductory post to the community forum. So, sup people!
So, my naming theme is either very stupidly subtle double innuendo or just bad pun, usually revolving around inner circle jokes of my RL friend circle.

Galleon - Krobe Depantie
First Krope Dela Pootis or something, but I felt it was too obvious and too TF2'ish, so.. Yeah.

Spire - Raising Tree By Dawn
Subtle morning wood joke there.. Because.. Spire is a log?

Junker - Derriere Lefist
It'll sink from behind.. I tell ya.

Pyramidion - Scarveliauta
Sounds like neat mythological name or something? Those who speak the same main language as I am will spot a stupid spurdo thing.

Mobula - Inconspicious Brick
Pun on the mobula's brick like shape. Even better, I've a CQC loadout for it that is.. 23% effective.

Goldfish - Bob
Short name for a short lived pet, gets it?

Carn:
I've recently renamed my ships to have a cohesive theme. If you've read The Old Kingdom Chronicles by Garth Nix, then you will know why I named them like this. For those who haven't read the books, suffice to say that the main character uses seven magical bells, that do different things.

Mobula-Ranna   Ranna is the Sleeper, and the smallest bell. The mobula kinda looks like a pillow, and is one of the smallest ships.

Goldfish-Mosrael  Mosrael is the Waker, a loud bell. Most people's first ship, whether to crew on or pilot, is the Goldfish.

Squid-Kibeth  Kibeth is the Walker, a multipurpose bell that is difficult to use. The squid is all about mobility, and you can easily screw up with it.

Pyramidion-Dyrim  Dyrim is the Voice, it can be used to silence the living. (This one was kinda iffy with how it fits with the theme.)

Junker-Belgaer  Belgaer is the Thinker. The Junker is a highly versatile ship, and along with the mobula, has the most loadout options. This require the Pilot to think more so about what they will use than on other ships.

Galleon-Saraneth  Saraneth is the Binder, a large bell that commands authority. The Galleon has more firepower than most of the ships, and is the largest. Saraneth isn't the largest bell, that will be the next one, but it is used often by the main character. It is used to dominate and subjugate, and used properly, the Galleon can dominate the playing field.

And last but not least,

Spire-Astarael  Astarael is the Banisher, and also known as Astarael the Sorrowful. It's the glass cannon of the bells. Used properly it kills everyone who hears it, even the user. So it is arguably the most powerful, but the most dangerous to use.

And those are my ships. To anyone who hasn't read the series, I highly recommend it.

Newbluud:
Only gonna list the ones with established names. Also, my names are dumb.

Mobula - Prom Queen
No real reason behind it other than I was discussing how me and my girlfriend were prom queen and king just after I said how I have no permanent name for my Mobula. For some reason, I felt Prom Queen suited the rather pretty and prissy ship better than any of the temporary names I went for before.

Spire - Inverted Bong
It looks like one and it suits my lifestyle somewhat. Plus, glass cannon matches up with an actual bong by my warped sense of correlation.

Junker - Anime
It's trash (in the sense that it is made of trash, not that it's a trash ship).

Galleon - Bang Phalange
To match our clan name, Fingerbang, in a way that sounds a little nicer off the tongue. I didn't put huge amounts of thought into my ship names, as y'all can see. When I first came to the game, I thought that Galleon was going to be my go to - muh big guns. Little did I know that it's easily countered and by no means more powerful than any other ship.

Any ideas on how I can continue with my dumb names? Other ships tend to have a new name every match.

ShadedExalt:
I need to think of better names.

If possible, keeping the HMCS.

And of course, Fist of the Unicorns is perfect.
