I am running a sci-fi tabletop and I needed a name for a merchant/broker style of ship. One name I thought of was Honor of Traders but I am not so sure of that. I want a name in the same style but I am trying to go for a gallows humor type of name. The name generators I've found don't really have what I am looking for. Pic is supposed to be what the ship sort of looks like.

I should state this; the name should at least pertain to concepts of trade, currency, greed, brokering, that sort of deal. All the other names are cool and all, but this is a merchant/broker ship and not a fancy warship or smuggler ship.

Same person as this. Aside from your desire for humor, it should be noted that ships will rarely have names in a poetic fashion. They will typically be named after ports of call where their intended trade was to bring them, or would be named after a person close to the owner and historically pertinent. Think MV Maersk Alabama, MV Overseas Chinook, MV Emma Maersk, SS Manulei, etc.

Search for merchant ships lost.
Ship names not on an approved list cost extra for the research required to make sure they won't be sued or attacked for letting you have it. Lost ship names are more likely to be available and ships lost in a war are more interesting.

After reading through all the names and choosing ones that I liked I had several friends (not the players) vote for which name they liked. Turns out the High Finance is the winner. Thank you all for contributing!
