    Default What are you going to name your ships?

    Got a few names lined up for ships. Props if you know where they're from.

    No More Mr Nice Guy
    Of Course I Still Love You
    Little Rascal
    So Much For Subtlety
    Size Isn't Everything
    Problem Child
    Attitude Adjuster
    Frank Exchange Of Views
    Quietly Confident
    Serious Callers Only
    I Blame My Mother*
    I Blame Your Mother*
    Big Sexy Beast
    Funny, It Worked Last Time
    It'll Be Over By Christmas
    You'll Thank Me Later
    All Through With This Niceness And Negotiation Stuff
    Resistance Is Character-Forming
    Don't Try This At Home
    Pure Big Mad Boat Man
    You'll Clean That Up Before You Leave

    *Always to the same type of ship, in the same fleet, next to eachother in the line.

    Not exactly the most traditional names but I want them to have a bit of personality. Plus I think in the real world the enemy would be a bit more scared of HMS Kiss My Fluffy Pink Bunny than HMS Queen Elizabeth II.

    Name them after people who post in this thread!

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    Never really thought of that. Never really been into the gee gees after seeing my grandad slowly waste my inheritence away.

    My other plan was to name them after the robots on Robot Wars but having HMS Wheely Big Cheese just seems even more silly.

    That Robot Wars plan is pure genius! Who wouldn't be terrified of a fleet with Sir Killalot or Matilda in it? I know I would .

    What about the most famous of them all, The Sleeper Service?

    edit: (though I see you've got it already, at least in nickname form...)

    I thought Sleeper Service wasn't as good as Quietly Confident. Neither are great but you have to have Sleeper Service in somehow.

    There's so many on the wikipedia page I don''t think I'll ever be short on names.

    Ravished By The Sheer Implausibility Of That Last Statement

    Possibly just a long series of Hand of God

    I wonder about the names whether we get a default name based on number of units of that type raised/raised in that region?
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    HMS 'Ni!' Enemies will roll over and die at the sight of it, provided there's no ship named 'It' on their side.

    Obviously, my French fleet willl be stuffed with ships like 'Yourr Mother Was a Hamster' and 'Your Father Smelled of Elderberries' or 'I Fart in Your General Direction'. I do so much love being lame.

    Some of these names are hilarious

    Your ships made me laugh so I'm only going to shoot down your masts and spare you from drowning.

    Ships should be named after women and loved accordingly.
