I have piloted very few matches, but I usually name my ship Stormchaser after the sky ship captained by Quintinus Virginix in the Edge Chronicles stories. When I pluck up the courage to pilot a bit more regularly I think War Boy and Furiosa will also feature in the list, just because Mad Max is an amazing film.

I captain I work with most often usually flys a Junker and has settled with Lost and Confused as his ship name. I think this is partially a half hearted attempt to lure people into a false sense of security and partially because he's often a bit drunk when he plays GoI

I started naming my ships after ship names from Iain M. Banks' novels and also started making up new names that fit the theme.

Junker - Clear Air Turbulence
Even when the skies are clear you might encounter some

Squid - Levity and Mirth
Happy ship, happy name

Mobula - Congenital Optimist
"Hydrogen will save us, right?"

Pyra - Demiurge Engine
The creator of all things evil, and the burner of engines.

Gal - Gunboat Diplomat
"You see that ship right there?"

Spire - Irregular Apocalyplse or Dorsal Tesseract
Sometimes your gunners hit things, sometimes they don't

Goldie - Vivacious Inquisitor
It's small, it's red and it's angry


EDIT: explanations
