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.

I use the same name for all my ships:

Bilge Queen

No, I don't take myself very seriously.

[Jack Seawalker]

Mine are like this,
Scarlet Raptor: Sloop
Scarlet Hawk: Galleon
Scarlet Eagle: Frigate when i get one
Scarlet Wolf: Light Sloop

I like the color scarlet and like how it sounds. I just is a trademark of mine. For War ships i'll change it to riptide.

[EsmereldaTrueshot]

All my pirates have a "key" first name for their ships....
Renegade Rouge (frigate)
Renegade Riever (war sloop)
Renegade Explorer (galleon)

Green Demon (light sloop)
Green Serpent (light frigate)

Crimson Raven (light sloop)
Crimson ...


Always ready to plunder!

[Pirate Rose]

I always have fish in my names. Like Renegade Fish, Savage Fish or Outlaw Fish. I just think it's funny that fish is on the list.

Mine are all going to be xyz Demon or xyz Dragon

Right now I've got a Sloop, Blue Dragon. I'm saving for a War Sloop (and working on lvl 15) but no name yet.

[Jack I]

(Shade of Red)(Map name)
Red Explorer = Galleon
Scarlet Navigator = Frigate
That's all my boats right now, but once I get war class I think I'll change colors to something majestic like Silver. ^^

Light Sloop: Shadow Tiger
Light Galleon: Shadow Titan
Light Frigate: Shadow Trident
Sloop: Shadow Raven
Galleon: Shadow Dragon
Frigate: Shadow Wolf
War Sloop: Shadow Raptor
War Galleon: Shadow Serpent
War Frigate: Shadow Demon

I will switch out between Shadow Dragon with each Galleon Class ship whenever i feel like using it for an extended period of time.

I prefer Shadow Dragon above all names because i am guildmaster to The Shades(hence the shadow name) of Kya(name of a dragon).

Theres a pretty big story behind my naming of ships than meets teh eye but i'd rather not go into it all.

[Shadow Cat]

Well I am Shadow Cat... so my ships always have Shadow as the first word

War Sloop: Shadow Warrior - I dunno... it just looks like a Shadow Warrior XD
War Frigate: Shadow Dancer - I always thought this was a pretty name :3
War Galleon: uh still saving up for that lol

[Simon Redbeard]

My ships are all foxes with some color added to them (Silver Fox, Red Fox...). Foxes are just so cute, cuddly and cool animals.

[The Beautiful Letdown]
