You know The Culture novels by Iain M Banks, right? How it has sentient starships that choose ironic names for themselves like these;

Sanctioned Parts List
So Much For Subtlety
All Through With This Niceness And Negotiation Stuff
Attitude Adjuster
Of Course I Still Love You
Funny, It Worked Last Time...

Well, if you pay attention, you can notice starships hiding in plain sight all around you. Here's a few from recent years;

Alternative Facts
Sigma Grindset
The Woke Mind Virus Is Either Defeated Or Nothing Else Matters
Girlboss
Basket Of Deplorables
Are We The Baddies?
I Am Not A Robot (Click To Confirm)

In this thread I want to know; what starship names have you spotted in the wild?
