ISD names

I'm trying to think of a name for an ISD III that I'm using in one of my games, but for some reason, can't seem to come up with a decent name for it. Seems like all the decent ones have already been used.

Any ideas?

How about a list of British WWII warships? Indefatigable, Arrogant, Assurance...

Try Depeche Mode album titiles.

Exciter
Ultra
Violator.

Hmm.

On second thought, They sound more like brand names of condoms, or some kind of nasty sexual device.

How about Judas Priest albums, then?

Painkiller
Jugulator
Angel of Retribution
Turbo
Screaming for Vengeance

Actually, I think Painkiller is an excellent name for an ISD!

Maybe Debbie Gibson albums:

Out of the Blue
Electric Youth
Anything Is Possible
Body Mind Soul
Think With Your Heart
Deborah

ISD Electric Youth is probably a SAGroup COMPNOR training vessel.

Looking up their discography, their latest album released last year wouldn't be too bad: "The Block". Although it sounds more like a World Devastator than an ISD.

Black Sabbath albums aren't half bad:
-Dehumanizer
-Never Say Die
-Paranoid
-Technical Ecstasy
-Sabotage

Or Deep Purple:
-Fireball
-Machine Head
-Stormbringer (this IS awesome)

Actually, I like Stormbringer Gry. Nice suggestion.

Also, thanks Barra, Royal Navy ships might be a good idea, I'll take a look through there. Trying to match up the ship's name, with the Commander's personality.

This place above has a list of the currently used names. Hehe, don't want to step on those.

You can also use archaic weapons for names:

Broad-Sword
Crossbow
Morningstar

I like weapon-related variants as well, and really anything that sounds ultra militaristic and masculine.

Warhammer
Thunderhammer
Swiftsure
Warmaster

A quick/dirty method that I sometimes use is to take the names of planets in the sector the ship patrols or was built in, especially the smaller capital ships.
