I voted for "Naming of grandious terms/weapons (Vanguard, Broadsword, Enterprise, Independence, etc)"

HMAShips "Vendetta", "Voyager", "Vengeance", and "Quickmatch" were some great names as an example.

I also like naming for supernatural/mythical creatures, for instance: HMAships "Vampire" and "Cerberus" (the 3 headed giant dog that guards the gates of hell).

Naming after Battles is another good convention, HMAShips "Tobruk", "Balikpapan", "Labuan", and "Brunei" to name a few.

Heroes are not bad. Neither are animals.

I do not like naming for cities or states, and was shattered to here the RAN's new LHD's and AEGIS DDG's would be named after cities.
