Mine will usually will be named like:
eg.
PD17 = Point defense first design. Then subsequent upgrades will be PD3, PD45, PD12 in that order... or some random choice of number. I seem to be under the impression that it confuses the enemy, so they can never be sure that a CS114 is actually better than a CS13 (CS=Capitol ship) or something. I actually started out counting down from 100 or something, but even that seemed a little too predictable. Even the abreviations I don't keep the same... I just think them up as I go.
But hey regardless of my naming convensions I still suck at the game.
