Whats the stupidest name you've given to one of your ships?

[GusTurbo]

I named my Saturn V replica "Saturbo V."

[Porkjet]

"Lander Calrissian"

[ElWanderer]

I followed up "Next Mission" with "Next Next Mission" (and then "Next Next Mission II")... serious lack of imagination back then!

[Vanamonde]

Sometimes I'm just testing a design idea, but it turns out to perform the whole mission. Then what are you going to do? Revert the whole flight just to change the name? So I have at times landed on distant worlds with ships named things like "Version 2b."

[Renegrade]

My last "Full Tour" save used the "Duna" Explorer for almost all the outer world missions... it was designed as a light shuttle to 'survey' Duna and Ike, and ended up being sent out over and over again.

Perhaps this image will explain why I feel it's a poor name:

NB: This isn't one of my penny-saving, kilogram-shaving well-calculated designs. It's basically a copy of a ship type I made when I was learning KSP and is a general "go-to" design I build when I'm feeling too lazy to math it up. Heh.

[teamdelibird]

This is only the upper stages of "The Fail Whale"; I only used a partial picture for the same reason that I gave it it's name. That is, that if I didn't launch it immediately after moving to the launch pad, it would flop over on its side like a breaching whale and explode. It also had a tendency to do this early on in flights.

You know you can rename the ship in-flight, right?

"Kraken Bait"

It was a very large probe composed of 4 different parts that would dock using Klaw... I had a contract to get a C class asteroid into Moho orbit, you see.

From what I had experimented/read about the Klaw, I had the feeling my design would summon the Kraken a few times. And it did. Numerous time.

[PlonioFludrasco]

"Little turd" for the launch a rocket contract. Just a dumb SRB with a pod and a chute.

[One-Way Films]

"Vanilla Ike" was a lander I designed for Ike...

[PlonioFludrasco]

Oh and T.E.H.T.R.O.L.L. that was an Eve probe. It stands for The Eve Hi-Tech... and something else I can't remember. Hey it was 0.23 or so!

[Lhathron the Elf]

I think the stupidest name I've ever given one is something like, "Bob's Little Mun Thang." I used it to get as close to the Mun as possible and try to break of the solar panels without damaging the rest of the ship.

[DaPatman]

"Little turd" for the launch a rocket contract. Just a dumb SRB with a pod and a chute.

I always call that the "Glorified Firework".

I said I *landed* in ships with goofy names. I didn't say I left them there with goofy names.

[FishInferno]

Thats pretty impressive. Pics?

[Lhathron the Elf]

Thats pretty impressive. Pics?

Sorry, never took any screenshots and probably deleted the craft file... Besides, I crashed almost every time.

I can try to recreate it though... I'll let you know if I ever do.

[Draconiator]

hmmm, mine is not as good but I had 2 spacecraft (a lander and an orbiter, orbiter mysteriously disappeared) I called MOAR (Minmus Orbiter And [surface] Reporter)

[problemecium]

hmmm...

Sometimes I rename recoverable lifter stages to random characters on the way back down, but I'll have to say the dumbest "real" name I've ever given a ship was my Tylo lander: "Magic Lola", which I picked in honor of a spambot that tried to reach me on Skype. That and my recent SSTO shuttle "Clavier", which doesn't sound stupid unless you know French (it means "keyboard").

Oh, and once I named a Minmus ship "Binmus or Must".

[2001kraft]

I think the name explains it all..

"That little thing that reaches space but then runs out of fuel and try's to get the rest of orbit with ion engines attempt 39 Mk.63 version 11"

---

EDIT: now it's called "That little thing that reaches space but then runs out of fuel and try's to get the rest of orbit with ion engines attempt 39 Mk.63 version 20 (final version)"

[cantab]

I tend to be rather po-faced with mine. But a while back I did have a Brown Smear series of rockets.

And you could say that naming a rocket the Macbeth was tempting fate. Quite a lot of Kerbals died on its first mission too.

[Tanner Rawlings]

MkI MkII (the MkI MkI was eaten by the kraken during launch)

[SaturnV]

Just made a big one named M.A.R.S. short for Military Aerodynamic Relocation System, he can do nothing but crush himself, however.

[PB666]

"Kraken Bait"

It was a very large probe composed of 4 different parts that would dock using Klaw... I had a contract to get a C class asteroid into Moho orbit, you see.

Out of frustration I named one "Kracken Fodder"

[Poryy]

I had some career mode vehicles.

One was "Traumatizer" (Part test contract- DON'T ASK.)

One was "Science Spammer" (Yay 0.22!)

And one was called...

"Disposer" (...Because Jeb kept stealing seats)

[Liowen]

I did name a ship The Mook, it was in honor of bad Kung Fu B movies.
