Starship Names

[Sting52jb]

Hey everyone I know this may sound weird but I've been putting a lot of thought into this. I have decent sized fleets for most of the races and have decided that I should probably name all of the Major Capital ships.

So here is my question should I name them Conventionaly, Example the Minbari battlecruiser Black Star, or name them in the Races own language, Example Minbari battlecruiser Drala Fi.

If i do name them in the races language is their some sort of Minbari Language dictionary? Or dose any one have any suggestions for 30+ Minbari starship names. Thanks.

Thanks Ian I had found that site once before just could find it again for the life of me.

And Greg thanks for making me laugh. :lol: The sugestions were good also. And I had already started with those solid 3: White Star, Blue Star, Black Star.

According to Wikipedia:

Unlike most other large ships in the series, White Stars were numbered, with most not being given unique names—Enrique Montoya's Maria(White Star 27) in Season 5, being the only known exception.

Narn people's names seem to start with G', Na' or Tu', so you could probably make up something such as G'Whizz, Na'Nee or Tu'Fehst. Beyond that, good luck finding native names for anyone other than Minbari or Earth.
