How do you name your ships?

[Justout]

I'm quite picky about how I name my ships, to be honest.

First of all, I always use alliterations. Where the words sound similar in a sentence or phrase, such as "Apples always act appropriately", "Happy Harry hears Henry".

Second of all the name is appropriate to the type of ship.

Sloops are FAST and SMALL. Names like tiger, serpent, shadow...those are appropriate.

Galleons are BIG, and I associate them with money and earning. Names...titan, fortune, queen, king, sultan...yeah.

Frigates are POWERFUL. Gun, warlord, sabre, storm, you get the idea.

So, here's my ship names as follows:




Light sloop - Riptide Raptor

Sloop - Tide Tiger

Galleon - Fortune Forager

Frigate - Storm Sultan



There's my advice. You don't need the alliteration, but you do need the name to fit the ship type.

So, the question remains, how do you name YOUR ships? Go ahead, list them.
