In some factions, it's okay, because some actually use callsigns as a naming method.
But yeah, seeing a Freelancer named UltraDeath or some crap like that is a bit .. meh.
By that judgement should I believe that a freelancer is not allowed to have such a callsign, but a CR may ?:P

Sorry about that. Continue on subject.
Names should be in-RP, yes. But you also can't assume some of the more rediculous names going around are nessesarily OORP naming conventions. There could very well be some history beside said name. People use all kinds of names for their ships, from character names to callsigns, to a mixture and even generic names (like the Convoy example, or stuff like Gamma-1).
Carrot to you might seem OORP but maybe the character is Ginger and his wingmates gave him that nickname which is now a callsign for his ship.

Well carrot is a one word (probably callsign?) name, so it doesnt osunds so bad, but then you meet names of characters from other video games or movies, unfortunately I dont remember any but Im sure you know what I mean.
In-Game Names. - freakshow666 - 07-31-2009
I think such names are perfectly ok when they're callsigns or the pilot's nickname.
Full names are also ok but I think they should be used for 1-person-crafts only.In respect for the crew. :)I myself have a "name-template" for every character.
I don't like to see names of real or fictional persons ingame.Gives me the feeling that people are unimaginative when creating a character and I don't think they fit in the FL universe.
But that's another topic I guess.

Taking the "Smack" example, sometimes what I'll do is say in system: "This is Covoy-15 returning to base" or something of that nature. I kinda see the names as being what YOU call your ship, so essentially whatever you've painted on the side of the hull.

in sovjet union the ship paints you, (had to say that)
now back to topic,
all my ship/chars have unique names, (with exception of some -.-' )
but I use for fighter/bombers [tag]firstname.lastname
for trade ships [tag]shipname
and for capitals well actualy the same as for trade ships [tag]shipname
*sidenote: [tag] can vary in tag| tag) or tag-

Go to a dock sometime and walk down the pier, note the ridiculous garbage people have painted on the side of their ships.
In-Game Names. - masternerdguy - 07-31-2009
because its just a game and people like to name their characters something they want to name them?
we could all do names like
joe.biden
joseph,speck
louis.rodney
richard.thompson
