OK, another what if scenario. If you got the cash to buy your own mid-bulk transport like Mal, what would you name your ship?
Personally, I'd name it QUIXOTE. I like the sound of it, plus it kinda reflects my personality of someone who tilts at the windmills of convention.
And coming in at a close second and third, OCCAM'S RAZOR and ZATARRA (third name's a private joke for anyone who'se read COUNT OF MONTE CRISTIO)
So what would you name your ship?

And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like ... ow ... ound ... round ... ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?

I kinda like the name Hunter Gravis, the name of the ship from Pitch Black...
I think i'd call my ship Tau Zero, cause i like the way it sounds, and its all sciencey too...

I like Quixote. One of my favorite words is Quixotic.
I'd probably name it "An Ordinary Cargo Cruiser" so that if the alliance spots me on sensors and asks what I am, someone'll tell the captain I'm an Orinary Cargo Cruiser and they won't know it's me. ;)
Really, all in all, it depends on the purpose of the ship and how it looks.

Lol.....that's a nice one. I'd call mine 'Your mama'.
But in all seriousness, I'd probably call mine Columbus.

Viperfish after that ugly fish that eats dead things and small fish at the bottom of the ocean, sounds perfect name for a smuggler/salvage ship.
