[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] I've named ships after cartoonists; characters in Marx Brothers movies; comic book characters; old Soviet movies; characters, ships, vehicles, and locations from famous SF novels and movies; playwrights; pin-up artists; friends; etc. I have more than 600 named ships, so even the usual sources (older ships, spacecraft, admirals, planets, mountains, adjectives, explorers, gods, cities, scientists, battles, political leaders, mythological animals) weren't enough. Most of my references are usually obscure enough that they're either not recognized or could plausibly refer to another person, place, or thing of the same name. So, I wouldn't name a ship, USS Jennifer Lopez, but I might name one William Gaines (publisher of Mad magazine), Dallas (captain from Alien), Merkw�rdigliebe (Dr. Strangelove's real name), or simply Lopez. So Hendrix is a common enough name that it might or might not be Jimi. However, Cobain is fairly uncommon and too familiar. [/QB][/QUOTE]
