Space Banana. Either that or named (and shaped) like a Starfleet runabout with water wings, and named after it.
CHALLENGER
(Yeah, sue me for lack of originality. You're all cliche for being imaginative. (Says big game company))
A Steampunk airship that resembles the vessel from The Voyage of the Basset, inheriting its ability to appear small, yet have incredible interior space [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerspace].

Agreed.Johnn Johnston said:
Nautical = The Bleeding Wraith (My fearsome royal sloop on Sid Meier's Pirates! Screw you spain!)
Spacecraft (Silly) = The HMS Up-Yours-Einstein, capable of Faster than Light travel.
Spacecraft (Also silly but not as silly as the above) = The HMS Camilla, crewed by quadruple amputee's and armed with a single laser cannon that's pointed the wrong way.
Spacecraft Again (I'm incapable of thinking up anything serious, sorry.) The SS Bruce Campbell - Indestructable.
Haliwali, please resize that picture to something slightly more appropriate for a forum.
7bob7, that kind of joke is almost an invitation to get banned.
Anyway, I would like a reasonably sized intersellar vessel, the space equivalent of a galleon. I would call it the Excalibur, because I'm English and apparently have entirely used up my quota of imagination for the day.

When I finally get around to designing that FPS game I've had in my head for years, I will be able to unleash the might of FELIX. Short for Flight-Engineered Lander/Inserter (eXperimental), it is a combination of attack craft and dropship, able to ferry two full platoons of soldiers into any hot zone. 335 megawatts of energy shielding and 34 centimeters of durasteel armor plating can take a beating, and its compliment of 125 mm mass drivers, tungsten-gas plasma guns, short- and long-range missiles and emergency Nova Bomb (for when you have to leave a smoking crater in a hurry) will put a hurt on pretty much anything shy of a full-on intrasystem attack fleet.
Now, were I to live in a magic/steampunk world, I would have my very own hovership. A steam engine heated by an elemental fire crystal would drive six lift fans, while a contained lightning shard would power the forward-mounted anti-ship electric gun, capable of blowing apart vessels of similar size to bits and doing great damage to ground-based targets. For more close-up-and-personal work, four mounted Gatling guns (two central, two aft) and a crew of thirty-two armed with revolvers, katanas and attitude to spare are ready to ruin your day. This hovership, the Maelstrom, attacks under cover of night, plundering rich port towns- whose defenses are invariably pointed towards the sea, never the sky- but also destroying threats to the greater well-being of the nation.

I think that is not an invitation to get banned, but a heartfelt plea.7bob7 said:
I'd name a ship the Six Sick Sheep of the Sixth Sheikh, so the dock controllers would find it impossible to say its name as I go into port.
hms lions share. one of those old wooden 72-gun ships in east india company service sailing around the world looking for trade then giving up and pirating from johnny foreign with a smile, lots of violence and casual rascism.
It's bad enough that you flamed a moderator, but to then accuse me of being a Daily Mail reader? That I can't forgive.7bob7 said:
PS: I did see your retraction, too little too late I'm afraid.
Only three days for that Travesty. Why I must go back to reading the guardian I have been angered.nilcypher said:

I know it's not the same person but that's the best reference I can think of.
A black, space-faring 1969 Dodge Charger with wings similar to a modern jet fighter that fold outwards for low speed dogfighting. It would be powered by four mid-size plasma thrusters located in the trunk, and over the rear wheelwells. Armed with twin, door mounted chain guns modified to fire photon bolts, undercarrage mounted heatseeking missiles, and a near leathal blue flame job, this ship would travel the cosmos under the command of a infamous bounty hunter.
It would be called...El Infierno Furioso.
...yes, I am bored.
