I started out with names from The Expanse. So far I've used Canterbury and Donnager for the bigger ships and Rocinante for one of the smaller ones. I then branched out and named another smaller ship Serenity and another big ship Enterprise. I think my next big ship will be Galactica. Anyone have any more good ship names?

Well, the all-time favourite "Unsinkable II" is still an option. Also, can I talk to you about Rocky McRocketface?

A few I've used at various times:
From Red Dwarf:
Annihilator (I used that one in Space Haven when the other factions get a little too pushy)
Red Dwarf
Starbug
Green Mini

From Final Space:
Crimson Light
Scarlet Lance

From Andromedia
Andromeda Ascendant
Clarion's Call
Crimson Sunrise
Lancers Hope
Pax Magellanic
Renewed Valor
Salient Debate
The Fires of Orion
Twelve Centuries

Friend of a friend had a sail boat name Sail Hatan.

I used to name computers after Culture ships.
