I TOTALLY wish we had this, too. If I could, I'd probably name my ship after one of Jack Aubrey's ships in the books by Patrick O'Brian (the Surprise, the Sophie, or even the horrible old Leopard!). Especially for my pirate whose surname is Aubrey-Maturin.

But for right now, I pretty much name them based on the type of ship it is and what that ship's qualities are. So I have the Renegade Queen (Galleon), Storm Cutter (Sloop), and Scarlet Hunter (Light Galleon) for one pirate and Fortune Hunter (Light Frigate), Black Stallion (Light Galleon), and Sea Brig (Light Sloop) for the other. Although I really want the ability to name a Galleon the Sea Slug!

It also seems like there are a lot of Walter Farley fans here, since I have seen more ships called the Black Stallion than anything else!
