Naming civilian ships

[CheesyRobMan]

Among other things (Minbari, Brakiri, White Stars) I ordered one of AOG's FA-scale Big Bag O'Targets - 20 civvie ships, all waiting to explode horribly So now I need suitably amusing names for them all. So far we've got:

Dexy's Midnight Runner
Profit Margin
Show Me The Money
Lickety Split
Stairway To Heaven
Muttley's Revenge
Snork Maiden
Stinking Bishop
Rockhopper

Once I've compiled a good number I'll pick the best ones. Suggestions very welcome!

Nice distraction tactic, 8)

I can see how some people might get fixated on destroying her at any cost.

An idea has been given to me. The problem with T'Loths is that everyone knows that they're crazy tough but don't have much of a punch so they kind of get ignored in a battle until everything else is dead. But if I name it Games Workshop......
