I used to name all my ships after famous RL pirate ships.
Like my Bhaalgorns always carry the name Queen AnneĀ“s Revenge.
Armageddons were āRoyal Fortuneā.
Absolutions were āGolden Hindā
and so on :).

For the longest time I never re-named my ships. Just went with what Eve gave it, like āDeMichael Crimsonās Probeā or whatever ship I had assembled.
Then someone mentioned I should name my ships differently cuz peeps could easily see who you are when theyāre Combat scanning. So then I just started naming my ships like āDMCās Probeā.
Obviously that doesnāt do a good job of hiding my identity so I then started picking names that portrayed the ships function or similar to itās original name so I could easily recognize it, like for the Venture I named it āRockerā or for the Hurricane I named it āSugarcaneā.

I do the same, except my Gila was the Revenge. But please, Sir Francis Drake was a Privateer, not a pirateā¦

Game of associations. I look at the ship and first thing that comes to my mind becomes the name.

Warspite should be in there then Survivor of Jutland. My taxiceptors are called Turbinia too, it seemed fitting.

This is genius. I might start naming gank ships accordingly

Though keep in mind this will not fool anyone (unless the guy is a complete amateur) as your ship type can also be seen on d-scan in a separate column but it is still funny nevertheless and good luck for your opponent to find out who you are based on such a ship name so still useful as well.

Only extremely reckless pilots get ganked anyway, and it can help fool those people.
Diligent players are invulnerable in highsec.
True, d-scan is of no concern to you then. The scenario I described only really applies to wh space (or outside hisec in general, unless you operate under wardec or fw).
Though for ganking ships I might use more flavored names such as āRoaming Kaijuā though that is more fitting for a bumping mach or a gate / station camping ship (tornado or such comes to mind) or in general freighter hunting ship (destroyer or preferably larger as the name implies a larger ship).
However for miner ganking and/or bumping ships the asteroid names seem fitting still so thereās that.
Navitas - space fish
Rokh - flying rock
Astero- hole n stick

Yeah.
Iāve used a Procurer named āUngankableā as a scout and warp-in target in the past. (Itās also a passive scanner). Even the more diligent highsec miners tend to see a Procurer as no threat, especially with a name that seems to be anti-CODE bait.
Have you ever got ganked by someone else by āaccidentā? 
No, diligent players are basically immune to highsec aggression, and I know all the tricks to keep safe from doing my own ganking.
I have a habit of naming BC āThunder Childā, if you see a āScorched Heavensā itās probably me.

NO point really naming a ship, at some point its going to explode. If i were to name one it would be called ship.
(4 letters in the characters name) (3 numbers that mean something only to me) (ship call sign like āThe Cancerā or āSpiderpigā)
