Ship naming

When you purchase a new ship, do use the same name as your other ships, or do you have a different name for each ship you own?

I always have the boats get close names. They also are always birds.

I use Scarlet for all of mine because it's close to my pirate's name.

I have Scarlet Raider and Scarlet Queen. My biggest ship, (which I'm saving up for), will be a war frigate that I will name Scarlet Dragon, for my name and my guild, Dragon's Rage.

Not sure why... heh but I have always given mine the same name.
Maybe I just dont want to have to think about it when buying a ship, I dont know.

But all my ships are named "Shadow Rogue"

I do have one pirate using "Shadow Defender" for his ships instead.

I have used different names but always has a "last" name of Explorer. . . . I noticed the other day another ship sailing the same ocean I was in that had the same exact name as mine! "Renegade Explorer" It was a different type ship but same name.. . . I guess there isn't any exclusivity with ship names !

Naming a ship the same as another is bad luck or something...

Although numerous, there are limited combinations of ship names with the current ship name selection tool. So there are likely many duplicate ship names out there.

Who's to say who named thier ship first.. hehe.

I think we should be able to request a "custom name" Like we can for our pirates and guilds. . . . wonder why they don't have that option for our ships?

I don't name them the same but they do have common elements...

My main pirate uses "Storm" and my alt uses "Scarlett". For the 2nd half I try to match the name with the type of ship. I would not name a Light Sloop "Storm Titan"

I've named all the ships differently, but they stay the same when I "upgrade" - Ali's light ships were different, but the normal and war were the same - the sloops were both Sea Lion and the galleons were both Red Dragon. I didn't have any frigates before the war one...it's the White Wolf.

Piper's the same deal - she's gone through the three sloops, all named Shadow Runner, and the three galleons, all named Shadow Dragon. Like on Ali, I didn't bother with frigates, but when I get a war one it'll be the Shadow Wolf.

The Dragon and Wolf names for galleons and frigates are sort of givens now...

I based my ship name on my favorite sports teams.

War Sloop: White Shark (SJ Sharks)
War Galleon: Silver Raider (Oakland Raiders)
War Frigate: Black Raider (Oakland Raiders)

I named all of mine different, but in the future they will all be either Red Bull or White Wolf.

I've used Storm Titan every time, but I'm naming my new ship something else...
