As opposed to all those live ones...

I love the names on this forum. We got some real characters here, and the names really reflect them. Kind of like in the Ian M Banks Culture novels, where the super-AI ship Minds choose their own names, memorable examples being the "Fate Amenable to Change", the "Grey Area" and the warship "A Frank Exchange of Views".

Dogscoff is just something that had a nice sound to it and (more importantly) was pretty much guaranteed to be unique. I do regular google searches to make sure no one else is using the name. Is that sad? Probably...

BTW, Ragnarok, if you ever want to talk about Norse mythology, you'll find at least two interested parties on this forum. Have you used the Space Viking shipset?
