Help me name some ships

[king of nowhere]

I am about to start another grand tour, I only miss the last step: giving names to everything.

Hence I'm asking for ideas on a few of those vessels

this is the mothership - with already a few things already attached. it weights 2800 tons. in my normal kerbalism missions it would hold all the life support, but kerbalism is incompatible with this planetary pack; to simulate the added mass of life support, I added a bunch of additional living space.

the engine pack. the nose cones can be closed to protect the ship for harder aerobraking

similarily, the solar array also can be retracted and stored inside cargo bays.

Here's a better look at the vessels already attached to it. from the left: yet-unnamed unmanned probe with a scanner, Arrowhead Stock spaceplane, yet-unnamed modular taxi, Ice Cream refueling vehicle, Cigar small lander, another unmanned probe.

 

this weird-looking plane is both a mobile base, an exploration vehicle and an ascent vehicle for large eve-like planets. the back part is habitation modules, hence the mobile base. when it's time to leave, the habitation module is ditched, the ascent vehicle flies up on propellers, then it jettisons the wings and it's a small, but powerful rocket - necessary for planets bigger than Eve.

here while it's docking to the mothership, with its thermal shields attached to survive reentry.

 

the taxi. in my mission architecture, "taxi" is the vehicle that ferries a lander from the mothership to low orbit. without the taxi, one would have to either use the mothership to move around the landers - horribly expensive, given how big a mothership is - or include the extra fuel in the lander, which would make the lander a lot less efficient.

here the taxi has an additional fuel tank, for when it has a greater payload (basic configuration is for carrying around the lightweight lander Cigar, extra tank for Arrowhead).

 

finally, the small probe.

it's got a scanner to find ore, and a rovemate core to detect anomalies. some science instruments too.

it's purely fluff, since i can't read a resource scan anyway, and nothing it does is necessary. but i like having it.

 

So, I don't know how to call the mothership, plane-habitation thing, taxi, and small probe.

I am open to suggestions. thanks

The Mothership should be called Kalimba. It looks more like a pan flute, but a Kalimba  has a similar parallel shaped pattern and a better name. Each tong offers a different tone, just as each node of the Mothership performs a unique function.

I bet you can play some nice music there with that ship!

Maybe the Scanner Could be called Globuscope, based off of a nifty Ghotbusters scanner with mysterious uses.

Maybe I prefer P.K.E. Meter instead, since the shape fits better.
