Naming Theme Suggestions

[Marski]

Soviet Kosmonauts by flight (1961-1977) that I've used for naming exploration ships

[BjornsonIII]

For fun I threw together a small list of Stan Rogers songs, ships from said songs, and a few words I feel would make for funny ship names.

Some big lists of settlements in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.  Sorted roughly in population order (though I don't think that's especially reliable).

I compiled a list of 1900+ names of ponies, lol...

This is a longer list of islands than the one currently in the game.

I've put together a set of five system name themes for a multiple-player-race campaign. These are a bit unique as they each contain 63k unique names giving one for every system in a Real Stars game. Probably an unnecessary volume of names but you can never be too careful.

File names are shared with the race of my campaign and don't necessarily mean anything out of context. Most of these themes follow a convention based on made-up constellation designations (think "Alpha Centauri" but the "Alpha" is some other kind of designation and "Centauri" is replaced by made-up constellation names) and once these run out, the rest of the names follow some sort of catalog numbering scheme(s).

• Cenaturi: Catalog and constellation names loosely based on character and VA names from the Alpha Centauri game. Constellation star designations are based on a letter coding of the D'ni numeral system.
• Roon: All stars are "Star #####", with the intention in-game to replace the "Star" part with a stellar class designation, e.g., renaming a system as "RD 12345" to indicate a red dwarf star. This theme is effectively just a list of random numbers with haphazard sorting applied.
• Sulamis: Constellation names based on Welsh, Norse, and Indonesian/Javanese astronomy. Designations based on Welsh, Old Norse runic, and Arabic alphabets followed by numeric designations once these run out. No catalog names.
• Firstborn: Constellation names based on a list of biblical cities. Designations based on the Hebrew alphabet. No catalog names.
• Sirian: Constellations names based on genuses of caninae, both extant and extinct. Designations based on onomatopoeia for dog sounds. Catalog names follow a Stargate-style mix of letters and numbers.

I went ahead and drafted a list of names of ships from The Expanse (both the show and the books), sorted by faction, with a combined list for all factions.

Due to attachment limits, I'll put the spoiler ones in another reply along with the combined list (which includes the spoiler factions)

[1tallboi]

Here are the spoiler factions from The Expanse along with the combined list (which includes ships from the spoiler factions)

The names themselves aren't spoilers per se, but looking them up could lead to people discovering spoilers for that amazing series.  Unironically, Aurora scratches that Expanse itch

[AlStar]

A commander name scheme of Stripper names, something which I'm pretty sure that no one was looking for.

Now you too can have commanders like Sparkle Delight, Cobra Divine, and Vixen Peaks!

246 female names
90 male names
131 last names

[JacenHan]

A collection of names from the Alliance Fleet of the Lost Fleet book series. These make great names for any empire consisting of humans from Earth, without being too specific to any one culture or nationality. The lists contain:

• Lost Fleet Battleships: 37 names, mostly "impressive"-sounding names like "Defiant", "Dreadnought", and "Relentless".
• Lost Fleet Battlecruisers: 31 names, also following the same general "impressive" name theme, along with some "nimble" names like "Agile" and "Adroit".
• Lost Fleet Heavy Cruisers: 58 names, with a variety of combat- and mythology-themed names like "Gryphon", "Kraken", "Parapet", and "Vambrace".
• Lost Fleet Light Cruisers: 59 names, with a similar list of combat- and bird-themed names like "Brigandine", "Hawk", and "Pommel".
• Lost Fleet Destroyers: 91 names, mostly weapons and "light"-sounding names like "Bolt", "Dart", "Xiphos", and "Flint".
