T5.10 Captain & Ship Names

Threw me too, though it shouldn't have. But I had some options: Over the years I've intermittently run 'solo games' in my head … one for a character called Joseph Hemdian (first baron of Yori when that world joined the Imperium), one for a character called William Durrant (Duke of Patu, Core), and one in which I self-inserted myself (as a knighted xenobiologist from Yori). Anyway, currently 'me' has leased a Beowulf called the Lucky Duck and captained by Ian Caro (I know a Safari ship would have made more sense but there wasn't one available) and that's what I went with.
Now that I read it, that sounds just a tiny bit crazy.

Captain Lynwood Laux of the No Refunds
Yeah, I usually end up playing Scouts when I get to play, so used a random name generator until I found a name I liked, then looked for interesting ship names. I need to read more of those Culture books: I had forgotten the fun the author had in coming up with ship names! Anyways, the name seemed fitting to a possibly somewhat shady Free Trader.

Partner’s nickname is “Kat” ( for Kim) so I also punted in the moment and went with Kat’s Meow. Captain Spenser Soullard.

Kitty Litre - Aslan tanker.
as much as I dislike Facebook, a thumbs up would be nice.
if it was a big enough ship would it be Kitty Kilolitre?

An Aslan capital stealth ship is a Kitty Pride.

That could a categorical mess.
An Aslan gunship could be named Tigger Happy.

Captain's name redacted as it's a variant of my own name.
Ship:Empress Elize
There is canonical precedent in the Third Imperium for naming Far Traders after Empresses. However, only a Solmani would name his ship after the last Emperor of the unified Rule of Man...

Captain Dalthor Et Magera of Dalthor's Dray
Where
dray (dreɪ)
n.
1. a low strong cart without fixed sides, for carrying heavy loads.
2. any vehicle used to haul goods.
v.t.
3. to convey on a dray; haul.
v.i.
[1325–75; Middle English draye sledge]
His yacht is the Threedie (short form of Dalthor's Defiant Destrier) and for reasons unknown he has a thing for olde Earth horses. It all started with something called a movee or some such, where men in metal clothes rode them and used massive toothpicks on each other.
Dalthor's Pecunious Palamino is his mobile bank...he is definitely odd.

I do have a modified 600 ton subsidized merchant in a story that I am working on named the Roving Minstrel, captained by Michael de Ruyter. I am not sure what Marc might use, as I did not fill out the Kickstarter survey.
Well, thing is...
That was some time ago and I forgot what name I went with, I think my own because ego.
Ship though is Reznor's Promise as I recall. But it honestly was something I filled out and sent off.
