How do you name your ships?

Except for colony ships (CL-R, CL-G, CL-I) i use HP Lovecraft mitolgy names, so then, Shub-Niggurath (aka the Black Goat with a Thousand Young) is usually the name for a fighter carrier or a troop transport, Baoht Z'uqqa-Mogg (aka the Bringer of Pestilence) could be used for a Plague Bomb Ship or a Boarding Ship. obviuosly, Cthulhu is seldom used and hides an minesweeper or so

Thats Great, there's a quote i remember my friend once said...

"What happens if you Nuke Cthulhu?"
"He reforms 15 minutes later...and now he's radioactive!"

I plan to use this as inspiration for Organic armoured battleships that survive Capital Ship Missiles
