"Mine" I suppose.
Or, perhaps "My Ship" would do.

What a bunch of barbarians! ;)
Tradition says ships are ladies...
but i do like the concept of names that are gender neutral, including "big sexy beast."
my dad's boat is reve with the little french mark that looks like a carrot thing. pronounced "revay" -means dream.

You could name it "Kobiyahsi Maru" and watch the bad guys run like hell the instant they scanned it.... 
Actually, I'd name mine "Vertigo-1", since imma BIIIIG fan of Descent/DescentII.
Dravis works for Blue Sun, c'mon, it's obvious.

My Mum always says that when she grows up and has enough money to buy herself a boat she'll name it 'Pipe Dream'. Thats kinda nice.
Personally if I had a ship I'd name her 'Epiphenomena'. I love that word and have spent much time trying to explain what it means to the people I work with. I'm a student of philosophy and I don't understand half the things I say, I don't know how anyone else is supposed to!

"The Sweet Melissa", named after the girl I first fell in love with in high school, but was too much of a yellow-belly to ask her out.
Plus it sounds like a name an old merchant ship should have.

There was a ship named "Dauntless" in one of E.E.Doc Smiths books. Ive always liked that name since.
I think it was in the Lensman series.

Wow. So many good names. I must admit, I rather liked "Prosperity" & "Pipe Dream", as well as the ordinary cargo ship one.....among many others....I like modesty in a ship
But Firefly reminds me so very much of the Independence War computer games that i cant go past:
"Dreadnaught"
Big name for a lil ship.
Although some of the provocatively named Independant ships were good, such as:
Catch me if you can
UNO (Under new Ownership)
Come to think of it...I war was about a war between earth and the outer colonies-Independents or "Indies". I War 2 was post war...about a character trying to make it on a freelance cargo/smuggler/pirate ship. They even had a Firefly class interceptor...and other ships that look stylistically familiar.....

I actually would name mine the "Century Eagle" from an RPG my friends did with me :)
oh by the way, I'm "J" and I'm glad to be aboard
Buddy...there's nothing between you and I, but air and opportunity....
