I need some names for starships. My inspiration is completely gone for the moment!
I'd like some alien-sounding names too.

Harry: go here. The Oberth-class has an assload of "alien-sounding names" starting around the 35000s or so. Any class that has strange-ish names is usually a freighter, tanker, or transport; the Corona, Deneva, Sonoma, & Kings Bay classes would be like that.
All I ask is a little credit.

Oh, BTW, two of those are not alien names.
Boadicea (Or Boudikka) was a female celtic warrior queen who led a few successful campaigns against the Roman Legions.
Abif is an ancient Tyrian surname, meaning "his father," and is the surname of one Hiram Abif, major figure in the legendary history of Freemasonry. (No, I'm not revealing any great secret. You can find this out in any decent book about Freemasons in your local library.)

No, credit as "Rob Farquhar" will be fine, as that's the name I'm currently going by.

Hey, if you want weird-sounding names that would still be applied on Federation ships, how about each of us listing some classic names from our real national fleets? Perhaps not the names of famous persons (those can be too controversial or too obscure), but rather some cool-sounding words in the respective language. There are enough non-American, non-British members here to create a hefty pool of exotic names. Here are some venerable Finnish ones (from our old icebreaker fleet - the actual Navy uses a dull scheme of city and county names that isn't very useful here). Translations added:
USS Sisu ("guts", stubbornness)
USS Karhu (bear)
USS Urho (braveheart)
USS Voima (strength)
USS Apu (help)
USS Turva (support, protection)
USS Isku (strike)
USS Murtaja (breaker)
USS Kaleva (uh, this has got to do with our national-romantic-pseudo-historic epic - you know, like the Niebelung stories of Germany, or Roland's song, or King Arthur, etc.)
USS V�in�m�inen
USS Ilmarinen (two heroes from the said epic, "Kalevala")

JeffKardde: love da sig. Did you hear the one about how many new IRA agents Gore's tax plan would require? GW is a fricking idiot (why must I always be surrounded by fricking idiots??? ). To answer Christopher Buckley's comments, I'd much rather have the faculty of Harvard leading the country than the first two thousand names in the Boston phone book.

Read chapter one of "Dirk Tungsten in...The Disappearing Planet"! And party everyday.
Can't wait to see how Gore will get that many Armalites and Kalashnikovs into the country - wait! He'll introduce gun control by buying every effing assault and automatic rifle off the right-wing militias, and then giving them to ex-pat RAs to police the new tax protocols! Perfect!
Shik: Correct. Now for 110 Yemeni sheckels, can anyone tell me hwat it means?
