Hmmm, simply Freeman Downs? It is a tradition with some navies to use city names, after all.

I like this one but I think that rillcreek's wings could be better. It's his creation afterall. Master rillcreek can have offer him to our dear little questor but it still good to honor such a generosity. By the way, I bet that Rillcreek burning of the desire to use it again. Traveller's spirit don't die, it hibernate.

Peut-être va-t-il vouloir l'essayer quand Quentyn va revenir triomphant.

S.P.P.

Yes, but my choice for a warship, Glorious Scimitar of Avengeance would be a bit pretentious...

What about:
Ends of Invention
State of Grace
Rise to the Dawn
Be Who You Are (reference to here

Somehow I don't see Quentyn as the type to give his craft a militaristic or pretentious name.

Just as I don't see him calling it the festooned raccoon balloon either.

Heh, indeed. Warship names would be more along the lines of Vengence, Vindictive, Black Star, Furious, Mjolnir, and my personal favorites, Enterprise and Midway.

Hmm, more names pop up...

Restless Dreamer
Woebegone
Winds of Change
Serenity

(Not really serious on that one, but I thought it amusing to mention.)
Firefly (Serious. unlike previous, could be homage if RHJ liked that show.)

Hmmm, I doubt the Rac Cona would know who/what Aurora was... Pity, that's a good name.

Opal (Given its color)
Venture
Cherub
Promise
Bog Dragon
Republic
Dawn (Since Aurora wouldn't work ;p )
Persistant
Eagle (Has that been suggested before? If so, sorry I forgot)
Determination
Wings of the Questor
Honorbound
Never Forget Alt: Unforgotten
Rememberance
Mobility
Jetstream Sailor

...Okay, NOW I will shut up. Sorry.

Eh, you guys forgot the most obvious one of all. 'Lady Meribeth', or anything else along that name.

Yes, it's a luftgas ship. And yes, I know you're going to give me looks and make comments about 'naming a bag of gas after his first crush'. BUT. A ship -must- have a female name, and it would be an honor, in my opinion, to name it after her.

Other names...

Far horizon's
North wind (or east, or west, whichever is 'lucky')
Starchaser
and Dawn's light.

I was trying to think of a good, original name..

But I think I'm just gonna put in another vote for The White Stag.

Maxgoof · Post by **Maxgoof** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 10:02 am

Farsee (A Wizard of Earthsea)
The White Stag (Yeah, another vote for that)
Rillcreek's Gift
The Wizard's Gift
Freeman's Ransom
Sacrifice
Freeman's Gambit
Seventh Sojourn

OK, the White Stag is the best I have seen so far.

Nope, right on the first page.

I narrowed my list down. Call it a space obsession if you will, but the three names I'm picking are:

Endeavor
Discovery
Voyager

Narnian · Post by **Narnian** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 4:57 pm

How about:

Laurentic
Champlain
Arizona
Lusitania
Hindenberg
Andrea Doria
Titanic?

Oops, wrong list ...

Where is that list?

AYBABTU · Post by **AYBABTU** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 5:27 pm

The Meribeth, maybe?

Rokas · Post by **Rokas** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 7:55 pm

Just two more ideas:

Star Seeker
Watcher of the Skies

Greatbeast · Post by **Greatbeast** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 8:45 pm

RH when do you choose from the list given? And what do I get for being the one picked ? :>
