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…
