That assumes enemies will speak your language or translate the name into their language, have no way to identify a ship besides writing, want to know the name of a ship before knowing whether it's hostile, and won't start a sentence with "the name of the ship is..." to avoid confusion.

UTC Last Hope, a custom built flagship with an FTL engine large enough to tug the rest of the fleet 20,000 light years when their engines can only jump a few thousand, so they could sneak attack the rebel capital world.
It was designed to need the crew transport ships it tugs, so one metric of crew size is 10,000,000; the size of the occupation forces sent to occupy the planet(s orbital centers). If you were to excise the rest of the ships, only 50,000 people could survive on the ship.

Like others of the Sui Riu class, this ship is in most ways a three hundred meter railgun with engines attached. Massive radiators and coolant tanks struggle to keep up with the tremendous thermal output of these warships, but otherwise they are very effective for ships that entered service in 2097.
While capable of 60 meters per second squared acceleration at full output doing so quickly exhaust the ship's reserve of hydrogen reaction mass. Under non-combat conditions a more modest .05 meter per second squared acceleration is available from quantum vacuum plasma thrusters.
Beside the relativistic railgun, the ship has defensive high agility guided missiles and a thirty megawatt free electron laser system.

Hell, NASA helped significantly with The Martian, and even screened it aboard the ISS.
