YT: Carnor Jax
Carnor Jax was the name of one of the Imperial elite guards that guarded the Emperor, Carnor Jax was close to take the emperors place after his death I think. Carnor Jax was killed by someone tho.. I think it was Kenix Kil ( BH pseudonym for another imperial guard who turned to bounty hunting after the emperor died ) its all in the Crimson Empire books/comics.
Rihkxyrk: Foehammer
Because of its hammer like shape and the punch when the three blasters start punching thru the hulls of enemies. I like Halo too 
Dunelizard: Greed
Because Im greedy.

X-Wing: Reik's Revenge
A-Wing: Reik's Requital
Firespray: Reik's Retaliation
And before the FS, my B-Wing was Reik's Requiem. I better not get any more ships, because I think I've run out of cool R-words.

I named my BWing "B-Otch" but decided I'd better change it before some fun-spoiler reported me. Now I call her "Dragon-Lady." I also go with "Barbara Dahl" and "Montezuma's Revenge" for my fighters.

My Khiraxz (sp?) is called Aeglos, which is the name of Gil-Galad's spear ("snowpoint"). My Dunelizard is Orcrist and my Kimo is Glamdring (the names of the swords found by Gandalf and co. in The Hobbit. The goblins called them "biter" and "beater" respectively.).Good to see other Tolkien geeks here. When I get my YT-1300, I might call it Silmaril- or maybe Telpirion.

You need a wingman for when you fly in Anvil, with a ship called Hammer. Or maybe Rock and Hard Place.

R0ZM4N, if I ever see a droid named Sprant Flere-Imsaho Wu-Handrahen Xato Trabiti, I'll know you're nearby.
Anyway, I had a Dunelizard named the Curved Blade, but my main fighter ship (currently an Ixiyen) is usually called the Song Rasp.
I started out on Talus (back when there was a proper bunch of people in Nashal, on my server); song rasps are quite common there as the bane of a starting-level hunter. They're a slightly tougher variant of something one finds on Correllia--they're cute little birds, dammit, and they killed me over and over. So the name's an appropriate way to commemorate the ass-kicking I got, and to suggest a certain low-in-the-food-chain-but-surprisingly-feisty quality. Furthermore, I'm a musician, so the "song" part fits.

The YT1300 that I have been granted the holy right to pilot is named
ZUTAN'S FIST
It is the finest ship that ever was or ever will be!
The day that it was bornvolcanoes eurpted, babies cried, old people got punched in the face! Infused with the very essence of Zutan the almighty diety of SWG! A physical embodyment of his unlimited might manifest in the material realm! I did not create this ship, NO! I merely helped to bring it through the galactic birth canal and into this world. The daythat it was born wasso great thatit wasdeclared a holiday known as "The Day of Fury"
Every year the day shall be commemorated with cussing, fighting, womanizing, and hard liquor!
Oh Yeah
If you disagree with me then you are wrong.

I named my ship after a role that I played in Ultima Online.
Right after the first expansion went live (The Second Age), my friends and I created a player city that was based on returning Hope to the people of the land. We called the city Hope City, and the guardians of the city were known as the Knights of Hope.
I carry over the intent of bringing Hope back to the people here, so I named my ship the Knights Hope.
A little bit corny, but it means something to me.
