[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] Through the years, I've written Trek short stories. Usually, this was for a class assignment, but I did some fun writing on my own. Alas, I've lost all those old stories (some of them, it's for the best). I've also dabbled with my own online Trek series for a few years now. I've always sought out ships names never used before. I have a USS Siegfried, named from the hero of the Richard Wagner opera cycle and Norse mythology. I've also used a USS Tannhauser and USS Lohengrin (two other Wagner operas). I've named other starships the USS Eroica (Beethoven's Third Symphony, the USS Firebird and USS Petrushka (two Stravinsky ballets), the USS Appalachian Spring and USS Rodeo (both Aaron Copland ballets), and the USS Requiem (Mahler's Fourth Symphony). As you probably guess, I was a music education major my first two years in college. Some of my ships names have literary beginnings. There's the USS Gandalf and USS Shadowfax from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. I've also used a USS Asimov and USS Dickinson. For one creative writing assignment, I used a USS Red Fern since we had just finished Where the Red Fern Grows. I also have the tendency to name ships after my friends. I've the USS Borgfeldt, which was named for my high school band director, and the USS Woodyard, named for the first woman I ever fell in love with. Still other ships I named because of the influence they've had on me. I've used a USS Maritza (named for the artist of my favorite webcomic) and the USS Schulz (author of Peanuts). There's the USS Ezekiel (taken from the UH Administration Building: Ezekiel Cullen Building) and the USS Cavalier (named for my faithful car). There's just a lot of sources out there for interesting names. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
