I am using words and NPC names from a prior sci-fi MMO, Earth and Beyond. So far I have:

USS Jenquai
USS DeWinter

my first ship was called the USS Madison. the rest of them I allowed the game to name.

my latest ship is called the USS Orion.

My current ones;
USS Arakon- Named after a star system I saw on one of the Star Trek galaxy maps.
USS Loxias- My wife named this one as the character is based off of her (it is a species of butterfly, which she studies).
USS Webb- Randomly generated by the game.
USS Attica- Named after the New York prison.
IKS Rok'Moth- I either made it up or used the name generator. I can't remember.


Others I have used;
USS Folsom- Named after the California prison made famous by Johnny Cash.
USS Bastogne- Named after the village in Belgium and the battle that took place there (WWII).
USS Stones River- Named for the river in Tennessee and the battle that took place there (US Civil War).

Duj vo' Heghpu'

Kar'fi Carrier class.

As far as I can tell, it means Barge of the Dead, in Klingon. There is no Klingon Word for 'the' or 'Barge' specifically, Translated word for word, It is actually "Ship of Dead". But as most know, when translating, you go by meaning, and not exact word for word. Anyway, It's the closest I can get, as far as I can tell.

I will make an exception for my Sci alt: when he recieves the Defiant retrofit, I will name it the USS Sao Paulo.

On one of my chars I named them after my nieces. Currently flying the USS Evelyn.

My other Character, Ka the child of Mars (who, by the way is looking for a Mars Theamed Fleet) captains ships with the names of Mars in many differant languages.

USS Kasei
USS Harmakhis
USS Huo Hsing

USS Problem Child
USS Dubious Intent
USS Honest Mistake

All inspired/stolen from the Culture.

I giggle every time I get a mission that has dialogue like "Why is the Dubious Purpose here!?!"

In my head I like to think my ship and crew are sent when the Federation want to make an messy example of why you don't **** with the Federation, and then they deny my ship even exists.

(It's how I help justify the ridiculously high kill ratios in the missions to my inner Trekkie)

USS Antelope

From an old sea shanty by the name of Barrett's Privateers.

generally all my tier 5 and retrofit ships' names are chosen from cities or regions in steven erikson's book of the fallen series. for leveling i chose factions/armies from the same series (Bridgeburner, Bonehunter, Crimson Guard, etc). http://encyclopediamalazica.pbworks.com/

engineer:
assault cruiser: USS Coral
retrofit escort: USS Black Coral

tactical:
fleet escort: USS Unta
retrofit escort: USS Assail

only exception is my Science officer who captains the USS Always Confused, named after the whale-research boat in christopher moore's novel "fluke". wanted to name her after another research boat in that novel "Constantly Baffled" but it was too long.
