use mountain/volcano names also! those can be sometimes inspiring...
If a campaign had voice acting, no one will try to pronounce "Incoming jump signature! It's...the GTD Eyjafjallajökull!".

GTD Fuji sounds more nice though.

example: GTD everest, GTD kilimandjaro or GTD etna...

 
Go for babylonian gods (Ea, Anu, Ianna, ...) They sound good and i didn't see them used in any mod yet :)

Cheers mate :) That's what I ended up using when I started running out of lovecraftian names.

I also use elvish names from time to time.

Otherwise, I try to stick in a video game or real life reference or two, like the GTC Blair or the SCv Grelier.

More likely the GTC Christopher Blair, although I'd name a carrier or something similar after that guy.

17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?
17:37:22   Quanto: its not gay if its an elf

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

There's stuff like GTCv Parapet, from the Colossus convoy mission. Maybe you'd have a GTD High-rise-building or GTC Bungalow, or GTFr Estate and GTC Tent.

You're right, but I needed to name a cruiser at the time. Maybe I'll change it sometime.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'm going to go with astronomical terms for this line of ships and Norse mythology for the next. I'll keep this thread bookmarked if I need more ideas. :)
