My MCs are a group of space mercenaries, and I need a kickass name for their ship. I'm using The Chateu D'if for now, but I don't really like it. Any suggestions?

I suppose it would depend on the character of your pirates. You'll probably want something that is 'kickass', as you would say, but still represent the characteristics of your pirates. *shrug* That's what I would do anyway, like a ship of Vampires would be 'Bloodbath' or something. For now, I can't help you, sorry. Good luck and I hope you do well.

How about:

The Sueno
The Buccaneer
The Timber Wolf
The Windigo (Name for a demon)
The Aeolian (Means 'of the wind')

Hope you can use one of these.

Thanx for the suggestions. I went with Koku's Blessing. Koku means "victory" in Japanese.

I think you could use Lead Zeplin, and it would be applicable.

Pick the name of your least favorite President or ruler of any country - can also add some historical link that way.

Not quite sure if it's what you're after, but.

In another forum I have some characters who have a vessel. Wracked my brain for a racy and descriptive name, then hit on the idea of a 'Pet Name' that the crew calls the ship as opposed to what's painted across her hull/squawked out the transponder.

To the crew and 'ship mates' she's known as the "Bonny D"

To the reality in which she plies her trade she's known as the "Bountiful Destruction"

*grin* :3 I'm kinda proud of that. Hope it helps.
