The Culture's starship names - got any suggestions?
One of the many small parts of Bank's SF that really got me hooked was the fact that the AI ships chose their own names, and had no qualms about choosing offbeat or alarming names like:
Funny, It Worked Last Time..., I Thought He Was With You and Shoot them Later.
This Website has a great list of some of the names - I tried to find a definitive list, but this was the best I could do.
Do you have a particular favourite? Or suggestions for alternatives?
I thought it could be fun to try and think of other names in the style of Banks' ship's names.
