Banksian
New game: come up with names for starships like the ones in Iain M. Banks's Culture novels. See a list of Culture ships mentioned in the novels to get the general idea. Here are a few of mine, more or less off the top of my head:
- Massive Repercussions
- Envy of the Fleet
- Whisper of Wind on Water
- To Be or Not to Be
- Consider the Lilies of the Field
- Standing in My Own Way
- Young Pretender
- Bear With Me
- End of an Era
- Tremendous Progress Is Being Made
- Wish for Snow
- Way of the World
- Not with a Bang
I've been seeing ships with Banksian names in other science fiction recently; I assume that's in intentional homage to Banks.
