I LOVE the ship names in Iain M. Banks' work.

In his universe, there are so damn many ships, they get ridiculous names.

Here are some examples of fan-created ship names from his universe he liked:

• ASKING FOR A SLAP
  
• BILL ME LATER
  
• CERTAIN SENSE OF WONDER
  
• DRAMA QUEEN
  
• FEIGNING INNOCENCE
  
• HIGHLY STRUNG
  
• INNOCENT BYSTANDER
  
• LOOK BOTH WAYS
  
• NERVROVOROUS
  
• OH WELL
  
• RTFM
  
• SUBJECT TO CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
  
• SWEPT ALONG BY EVENTS
  
• ATROCIOUS TABLE MANNERS
  
• BUDGET CUTS
  
• CONSOLATION OF DREAMS
  
• FASHIONABLY LATE
  
• GUESS WHAT
  
• IMAGINARY FRIEND
  
• JUST VISITING
  
• MIND YOUR HEAD
  
• NOTHING PERSONAL
  
• PURITY OF SPIRIT
  
• REASONABLE DOUBT
  
• SUBTLE NUANCE
  
• TARNISHED REPUTATION
