I have to hand it to you Frosty. The sheer creativity of your ship names is pure inspiration. I wish I could be just as creative as you. ---

I just added another battleship to my collection near Jita, I named The Huntsman. This is part of my theme with the Snow White lore. However while testing it by killing rats in HS, I noticed someone in chat say, “Be careful there someone in a Rokh… baiting newbies with cargo boxes.” While there was a lot of cargo boxes in the system, none of them were mine. I guess naming the ship The Huntsman didn’t help either. Have fun! ---

I TRY to be witty and roundabout with my naming - whether I am is another issue: So for example I’ll name some tiny ships to be huge ones: Atron → Minokawa/Kronos Heron → Phoenix Navy Issue/Navy Dreadnought Other times I name them to whatever they resemble: DNI → door wedge Praxis → dinner’s served Others to try dissuade hunters: Venture → fishing rod Prospect → master baits Cormorant (salvager) → fast tackle Or for function: Tayra (max cargo) → hollow inside Griffin → wirecutter Kryos → fridge Maybe some fun ones: Metamorphosis (scanner) → lil’ sniff (mine just died \>[Law and order will be served](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/law-and-order-will-be-served/444474)\< so my next one gonna be called lil’ sniff 2) Name follows form: Raven → angri seegull Catalyst → wanna-b-b-wing Talwar → get your feelers on Golem → flying spearman Megathron → swipe card here Barghest → waffle tank I also did think of naming a PNI → navy dread-not I know, they’re bad… ---

I name my ships after Sims in The Sims 4, a game that I have played for a few years now. Most of the ships are named after female Sims that I have created (for example the Thorax I have is named after Serenity Rune, a sim that forms the name basis for this account). ---

I often use names of ships from sci-fi. My current favorite source is The Unincorporated Man series, where I’ve taken Warprize (for my Harbinger battlecruiser), Pickaxe (for my PvE coercer destroyer), and Claim Jumper (for my salvage coercer). Perhaps just as interesting, every time one of them gets blown up, I increment a number at the end. E.g., I’m on Claim Jumper III (first was lost to a gate camp and the second one as a result of flipping a particularly well stuffed can one too many times in a highsec war zone 🙂…for the record, I managed to pull enough loot from that one can to cover that loss several times over…so it was worth it). ---

> [@Yuzima](#): > > Velator-1, 2… > Catalyst-1, 2… > Venture-1, 2… I changed my naming convention. Now it’s random numbers without meaning or reference. ---

Yesterday I had changed some of my ship names to my include an extra letter to stand out from just using my normal names. I think it works well either with a number or a letter to indicate different fitting etc… ![IMG_4904](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/a/8/4/a8459aa2b9b8e89115af8c49722fbee9e24178d8.jpeg) ---
