[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] <center>[IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/71/threadrevive.jpg[/IMG] <small>(I used the fucking picture. HAPPY??)</small></center> I'm doing the final smoothing edits on the names for project now, & I came across the name that still seems a bit iffy now as it did 3 pages & 7 years ago: [i]Diana, Princess Of Wales[/i]. On the one hand, I can justify it; on the other hand...can I justify it for an [i]Ambassador[/i] & a [i]Galaxy[/i]? So the question remains: [b]what makes a good starship name?[/b] I mean, obviously nothing like Hitler or Stalin or Pol Pot, but is Hirohito okay? There's a canon [i]Malinche[/i], who is pretty reviled in Mexico. Bernd has oft stated his distaste for the canon [i]Zhukov[/i] due to Soviet war excesses inflicted on Germany, but is there a general or leader who is totally blameless? I have ships named after Fidel Castro & Mao Zedong; Fidel has helped the Cubans as much as he could given the embargo, & Mao was a philosopher & political theorist as well as a leader. Are they wrong? What makes a name "worthy?" [/QB][/QUOTE]
