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.

Nope, right on the first page.
Straw wrote:maybe some lady's name since that's the tradition I think(raconnan might not have it though) so how about "Kestrel"?
Or maybe "Meribeth" if the sandbags on the ship... nah.
