Ship name = Relegious Excrement. +1 for those that get the joke JFYI, it's spelled Religious... presumably. Not sure of my Patreon status atm due to debt consolidation/financial changes my wife is doing... If I still have a vote - Lost Shepard.

The ship looks like a proper exploration and scout vessel from above. So I vote to name it Zealous Seeker

Thanks bunny, I keep my autocorrect off on my phone because it's worse at spelling than I am. Plus I did mean it as a joke, didn't really expect fallen to agree to it. Being a sheep, I like your choice, I go with it.

My vote is Shippy McShipface. That's right. The Captain had the same issue were having right now and the person at the registry got impatient.

Maybe it was acquired through shady means and all record of the original name was scrubbed. Everyone onboard is constantly arguing about its name, and Derrick won't stop calling it Shippy McShipface. Everyone is constantly trying to get their own awful name, but the Captain just can't even.

I don't mind a little on going teasing about the name between the mates, but let's have a reasonable one for official business, eh? and with 2 votes the animals have found their Shepherd and are winning ... Now if only the Lost Shepherd can figure out where it's going... Unless we wanna keep arguing about silly names til we're all sick of it- I mean look at my name. :-p -Wabbit

wascalwywabbit - thanks for pointing that out, I missed it. So far the tally is as below. If it wins, it is a fitting nod to the honor of ntsheep. I can imagine that one or two of the crew might complain about most of these names, wanting something more serious and fear-inducing lol Lost Shepherd (+2 vote) Zealous Seeker (+1 vote) Shippy McShipface (+1 vote) Promethium Clipper (+1 vote) Acute Angle (+1 vote) Space Girl (+1 vote) Vamoose (+1 vote)

I think it's an ill-omened name. Getting Lost in Space is a real possibility, and 'naming calls'.

Naming calls. You call your ship the Lost-something-or-other and you are asking the gods to lose you.

Just because Johnny ship bum wants to name his dingy "Rich Man's Yacht of Sexy Women" doesn't mean the foul smelling bum is going to be rich or even allowed near a woman... So...

Just because Johnny ship bum wants to name his dingy "Rich Man's Yacht of Sexy Women" doesn't mean the foul smelling bum is going to be rich or even allowed near a woman... So... Sigh, I removed that link since I didn't think it was helping. In the world of real sailors, 'Rich Man's Yacht of Sexy Women' would be fine. Indeed, naming your ship after a sexy woman has a long, long history. There are other sailor supserstitions which might make this a bad choice -- mentioning money or wealth in your ship name is not done in certain circles, including where I grew up -- but this is not because of the hubris ban. 'Rich Man's Yacht of Sexy Women' gets a 0 on a scale of 0 to 10 on the sailor's hubris scale. Hubris is to tempt the fates -- so naming your ship things like 'Lightning' and 'Tempest' is considered utterly foolhardly. And if you name your ship "the Lost X", well, "naming calls". The list of things which properly superstitious sailors are not allowed to say onboard ship runs many pages, and most of them are because "naming calls". To name a thing is to cause it to come into being, or manifest itself. It's an invitation. And such an invitation can overcome the charms, prayers, rituals and whatever other magic you have employed to avert such disasters.
