Just for fun, who does starship names and what are some of yours?

Some of mine (sometimes I get bored):

Wiley Wampa

Cranky Tauntaun

Rusty Wamprat

Shatty Rancor

Vermillion Vornskyr

In the games I’ve played, either the GM creates the name, or the pilot/owner comes up with the name.

We had a YT-2400 that was the Centennial Osprey, owned by Sven Huunto, I think it was. Not sure if I spelled that name right, though.

In our current game, we get shuttled around in various ships owned or arranged for by the New Jedi Order, and I don’t think I’ve heard any ship names get used.

One of my group members named the ship (a YT-1300) The Boudicca. He also named his two droids Caesar and Brutus.

The Vengeful Gambit.

This weekend I named a ship that I convinced the previous owners to sell to me for a steal the "Yellow Fluffy Bunny".

It's got a somewhat sentient Astromech brain upgraded to the max with several triumphs that has a bad attitude about being disrespected, making a mess onboard and whistles at modern, sleek looking ships in passing.

I followed this line of thinking (ie, rebranding the Millennium Falcon) and named a YT-1300 in one of my sessions the Century Drake .

But I'll probably end up going with one of my player's suggestions: the Decade Pigeon. We've heard it can make the Kessel run in less than twelve poop-secs.

Taunting Taun Taun.

Taunting Taun Taun.

Luke-Warm Taun Taun

Usually the GM handles the names of ships, unless the players decide to rename theirs. Currently, my players are flying Sentinel Seven . I don't recall the name of their previous ship.

Have a Nice Day

Have a Nice Day

Sith Happens.

Rebel Without a Planet (obviously Leia's ship)

YOLOUYAJ (You Only Live Once... Unless You're a Jedi)

Rebel Bass (with some kickin' low-frequency speakers)

Alderaan Places

... okay, these are just bad.

My players were flying a ship I named for them - The Lazy Bantha. Now they are in a stolen corvette, debating on hiring a full crew, named Something for Nothing.

My favorites, though are Clad in Vermilion for a cap. ship, and a pirate vessel named The Yutta Hey.

Centennial Eagle

Lustrum Condor

My pilot character has a HWK-290 named the Star Raven. I was watching Teen Titans Go!!! when I thought of the name.

Nightshark - Hammerhead Class Cruiser

Starblazer - Minstrel Class Space Yacht

Iron Bullet - Citadel Class Light Freighter

Screaming Eagle - YT-1300

The Brick - Star Galleon Armored Transport

Not overly original, but here's a few...

We had a YT-1930 owned by a gambler that was called the Idiot's Array.

Aliminium Falcon

Bad (on the outside) Taun Taun

Star Killer

The Big Hutt

Millenium Enterprise

Event Horizon

Something Wicked

Kessel Runner

Raving Rancor

Twi'lek's Grace

Veer's Vengeance

Luke-Warm Taun Taun

I see what you did there.

Sidewinder (YT-2400)

Outside Chance (J-type Star Skiff)

Sassy Gundark (Gozanti)

My PCs are flying around in the Jade Whisper (YT-2000).

My EotE players are buzzing around in the Entropy (Ghtroc 720) and False Hope (HWK-290). We're starting up a paralel AoR campaign tomorrow, so I don't know what they'll be using there.

I let the players name their ships and I name NPC vessels. The list of those is simply too long to get into here.

We opted for a YT-1300 named the Black Nebula..... only because the Black Pearl was taken

The Museum (named by our kleptomaniac archaeologist who insisted everything was a relic and thus everything belonged in a museum)
Corellian Rudder
Void Runner
Hot Prospect

At a convention game, we named our ship "She's one of ours Sir"
