Change it to Japanese and you could call it Zanbato
Which if I am not mistaken is what the swords in anime with the physics defyingly long blades are called.

Depending on how BIG or lagy your craft will be:

Lagaviathan
Lagatron
Frameeater
Fire-in-the-Core

Personally, I've nicknamed my current project all of those. - and in fact, thinking on it - I'll give it four seperate names, its got four sides, so why the heck not!

Followed by Leonov, Komarov (first commander of a multiperson crew), Feoktistov (first space engineer in space), Yegorov (first medic in space), Armstrong (first person to land in a location other than Earth), et cetera. We have inspirations aplenty.

Sort of depends on what sort of ship we're talking about here...
If it's comercial then the name isn't too important and will be up to the owner/ captain.

Now if it's a military vessel then it will have a designation. To start with certain militaries use prefixes, for example HMS.

Moving on to the United States as a seperate example they have various designations. USS being the most common ( commisioned United States Ship) but this only applies to a full military crew.
There are then further letters and acronyms for the type of ship it is, carrier or destroyer etc.

Now moving on to the actual name this is all dependant on the type of ship. If it's a smaller destroyer of frigate it's not going to carry a hefty name. A good example is the USS Theodore Roosevelt. This is large aircraft carrier, and thus it was named after a very influential president.

There are plenty of ships out there already, most countries have a navy. So the likelyhood of a good sounding name not having already been used it pretty low.
You're best bet is to have a look at som existing ship names.... Or maybe look at NASA's space craft names.

One last thing.... Whatever name you decide. DON'T use Challenger... :P

it's military, and I'm pretty sure i don't want to use challenger cause that rocket blew up thanks to fuel leak

i was thinking, how about leviathan?

Why thank you!

A few I've used (and some I haven't; they're marked). I'd apreciate if you didn't, as I already have, but as long as you don't use them in a workshop ship, I won't find out. And even if you don't use any, maybe they'll give you some inspiration!

Something along these lines. Bonus points if it tries to emulate an impractical sci-fi design. Double bonus points for Warp Nacelles.
