What about names from Heinlein,
Dora, Gay Deceiver, City of Chillicothe, Evening Star, Valkyrie, Vanguard, New Frontiers, Envoy, Champion...
Hmm or from Firefly...
"IAV Dortmunder"
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hubby suggests Dark Star. Also, Beowulf.
Also, the Hood, if you have any that crash a lot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is the Hood reference to any scifi ship, or to the British battlecruiser that famously blew up while fighting the Bismark?

The Hood appears in some of the background Star Trek stuff and gets blown up by the Klingons.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I'm trying to imagine a scenario in which one would want a confection shaped like a cockroach....and failing utterly.

I'm watching the emmies and wondering which thread is most appropriate for mentioning that Allyson Hannigan looks fabulous and her rack is ENORMOUS in that dress.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
She does look fabulous. Way better than her costar.

ND, do you have any ships from Matrix?

Hm. Ships.
Agamemnon. White Star. Black Star. Polaris. Cerebus. Aegean. Clarkstown. Excalibur. Hyperion. Lexington. Prometheus.
I could go on. Babylon 5 has many, many spaceships named.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I am starting to have many jitters about doing independent research this year. I woke up in a panic about it in the night. I need a good forum where people discuss dissertations, research etc, if anyone knows of any, so that I can jitter in the direction of some fellow sufferers. I am going to be bold and put adverts in relevant magazine soon. I am. I am, I am, I... Probably.
ND, your commitment to naming your hard drives is impressive. I name my wheelchairs after appropriate characters from science fiction, but that's not difficult. My powerchair was Marvin (he was an entirely paranoid android) and my current manual chair is Luna. I forget the rest. As for cars, I've had a Delta Flyer and a Defiant (it was not), and my current storage-miracle-on-wheels is a little Tardis.
