Cool Ship Names-That’s No Bull!

Since there always seems to be a need to come up with creative names for ships in many RPGs. I thought that I would share one method I stumbled across. With Rogue Space™ rounding the bend for Worlds of Pulp™, it seems timely, so enjoy.

A great resource that I found for naming warships and starships in my RPG was found in an unlikely place. To kill time I like to watch PBR (Professional Bull Riding). While working, it is helpful and relaxing to me to have music or some other white noise going on in the background. The 8second bull rides of the PBR is entertaining, though not distracting. Now back to the point.

While listening to PBR I heard the name of a Bull that I thought would make a fantastic name for a pirate ship. In the moment, I thought it was great, however in the next moment I forgot exactly what it was. To try and find it again I went to PBR’s website; There I found a celebrity hall of fame for their best bulls. Not just one of them had a great name for ships, but many did. I was so impressed with the roster that it occurred to me to share some of them here.

Here are 100 of my top warship picks!
