I call Henry Morgan's Large Frigate the Black Pearl. When I find a Ship-of-the-Line, I call it the Flying Dutchman, then I install Dutch governors in every town. Currently, I'm taking Pieces-of-Eight with a fleet of eight War Canoes:
    Ghost Monkey
    Renegade
    Sea Turtle
    Shadowfax
    Queen of Spades
    Crazy Crypt
    Aku Aku
    Osprey

Ah. A name to strike fear into all sailors, especially those of clean mind and sensitive nose.

If I use an East Indiaman it's usually "Treasure" or "Fortune." I've had a war canoe named "Rapier" "Mosqito" and pinnace I named "Zorro's Blade." I've used "Fearless", "Invincible", "Enterprise" and "Revenge" for SotLs.

I never name my ships Razz

I just leave them as they are.
I don't really see the point in naming them, it gives no advantage. Sure in real life I would name them but not for a game.

I printed a list of historic Royal Navy ships. They are my source of information, and the histories of the ships are good reading, too!

Every once in a while I see "De Hamer Van Thor" for a Dutch ship. If you are familiar with Norse mythology or details of the Marvel movies, Thor and Captain America, you may know about Yggdrasil, the cosmic tree. Guardian of the tree is a serpent named Jormungandr which I thought would make a good name for a ship, especially if you choose to be a Dutch ally. The Dutch don't have a direct connection to the Vikings but overall perhaps the closest of the 4 choices.

Pronunciations:
