I've named my vessel 'Hello Kitty', because I find heroic sounding names boring Plus: imagine how humiliated one would feel being blown to bits by a ship named that!

ROFL, that's a good one , I can just imagine all the enemy commanders that you open a channel to:

Dent: This is commander Dent of the GCV Hello Kitty...
Enemy: .....

OK, Raziel. I'm going to take the liberty of updating this list again for everyone.

If anybody cares, I believe if you put your name in the hat OR vote you should re-publish the list. No throwing your name in the hat without updating. I have also added Carl Burning into Rack n' Ruin with Remo if no one has any objection.

What does everyone think of a two or three name limitation. This list may get too cumbersome as it is. Raziel, you of course are excepted being the thread starter.

I use XYZ-Aneres. The 'XYZ' changes depending on the my caste, and the 'Aneres' is my infant daugher's name (Serena) backwards.

(p.s. I originally wrote it as XXX-Aneres, but I didn't want any of you to get the wrong idea )

I captain an Aestrom class carrier christened the GCV-Constellation. I named her after a frigate that saw service in the American Revolution. I was aboard the original Constellation when I was a kid and it made an impression. These days she's anchored in the inner harbor in Baltimore, so if anyone wants to see her it's still possible.

[/indent]I thought the Constitution was the only Revolutionary War ship still kicking around. Good to know.
I use all sorts of names for the various careers I have running at one time. My "main" career is always named Psirat and his vessel is usually Psiclone (Super Carriers), Psiwind (Heavy Carriers), or Psiber (Cruisers).
If I'm Droidian, it's Psilon, of course.

Actually, I did some research just now and discovered that apparently the Constellation in Baltimore is NOT the original. Evidently somebody from the Navy recently found evidence that she was broken up and rebuilt from the keel up in 1854, which technically means that she was a different ship. I know that the Constitution is still afloat, but she dates to the War of 1812, having been launched in 1797. Despite her questionable origins, I figured that the celestial symbolism of the Constellation's name was more appropriate for a starship.
