Found these links for anyone having trouble coming up with ship names.

http://fantasynamegenerators.com/spaceship-names.php#.VK3HdntUX-s
http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=shipnamer
http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=pirateshipnamer (Pirate Version - but often better imo)

And as always remember that you can then convert that name into another language for a more exotic feel or something more appropriate for the ships owner if they are an alien race.

Wookiee - http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Callsigns:_Names_of_Kashyyyk
Huttese - http://www.completewermosguide.com/huttdictionary.html

That said - anyone got some good recommendations for names - I hope you'll grace us with them on this topic.

My RPG Excel Generator I wrote. It generates just about anything you could want - I have a second version that also does characters and stats. They're both spreadsheets.

I can PM you a link if you'd like.

The top/first one doesn't work for me.

BTW, this is a timely thread for me, as our group is trying to name their new modified YT-1930.

Wow that sounds awesome. We should convert to tables and put that in the next issue of Wild Space Magazine. Maybe provide a link if you wanted to.

PMs sent, yalls!

Take a gander at the generators (v 1.0 and 2.0 respectively), and let me know what you'd like fixed/changed/included!
