Post here yer ship names, and do tell why ye have chosen so!


-Fleur du Mal, Defiant Sleek frigate
-Revenge, any type 'o ship but currently a Minerva
-Adventure, Santiago Traders Galeon floating warehouse.
-Vegeance, Raa MC
-Swift Wind, Bermuda MC

Either names that have long lingered in my thoughts or have been inspired by actual people or music!

The Jewel of Ireland - Flagship, currently a Cerberus Frigate
St. Patricks Rage - Gunship, currently a Locust Mastercraft Corvette
Blarney Stone - Floating wharehouse, currently a Atlas Bark
Smilin Irish Eyes - fast attack ship/Yacht, currently a LaBelle heavy Corvette

Salvaged Honor-Captured Jamaca Sloop from the Bloody Arms Pirates (Comes from his view of 'redeeming' the Bloody Arms' ship by taking it for himself)

Pearl of the North-fallback ship (Comes from the fact Balgar hails from Russia and his ship was built there)

Aye most of me ships are named in honor of the Great Grace O'Malley........

Grace's Corvette - Locust MC
The Postillonen Grace
The Snowy Grace

Delania usually sails the "Songe"

I personally like "Unnamed Ship" it keeps me getting to attached to them!

Hahaha!

For the good luck, I usually give my ships spanish names, some I like are:

- Serenidad
- Reina de Corazones (Queen of Hearts)
- Hierba Verde (usually my tobacco transporter )
- El Transportador

I go through ships like some men go through lovers. Maybe it keeps them blasted Brit pirate hunters from tracking me down. Some names I've used:

"The Filthy Ore" - Caught that one carrying iron ingots
"Stinky Wench" - Caught that one with a hold full of fresh fish
"Butcher's Bill" - This one dang near caught ME and after three boarding attempts I finally took her. Lots of peg legs were handed out that day.
"Redoubt" - My Heavy Snow that I thought was a bloomin' fortress. French sank her off of Tortuga, so turned out she wasn't.
"Sea Cow" - Because she handled like one
"Itchy Britches" - Some of those enemy captains wear the goofiest clothes
"Belly Up" - She sailed like a dead fish
"Spreading Rash" - Don't dock at French ports!
"Better Part of Valor" - With a well-armored stern!

The Cry of Havoc for any of my ships. As it was in EvE online

I have 2 ship's names that have stuck:

The Dawn Razor-Bermuda MC because it's sleek, swift and keen. I also like to imagine tracking merchants all night and swooping in on them at dawn with the rising sun at my stern...

The MorningStar-Mediator MC because it follows a theme and I like to think this is a heavier weapon than the above...

Aye at level 31 it's past time to get a heavier ship, but I like speed and maneuverability...

*EDIT* ohhh geeeez... I just rewatched cutthroat island for the first time since it came out.... musta had the name morningstar stuck in my subconcious somehow.... off to rename...

i started off by naming my ships

Jenny
Jenny Two
Jenny Three

and so on and so on. then i found i was loosing so many ships at like Jenny 18 and stopped naming them period. plus no one can read them so i was like whatever.

row forest, row!

I've finally found a ship that inspired a name:



I present the "Sea Cow"

My new Neptune's Disgrace Refit Galleon.

Great Ship Kitty!

A very fitting name, and congrats on getting one
I recently renamed mine from "reina de corazones" (queen of hearts) into "asno lento" (slow ass, ass as in donkey of course ).
If you ever get into gun range with this thing the others will fear you *grins*
