Finally, as everyone who goes into beta knows, the new AI, while also getting some much needed enhancements, are also sporting some new names. On vent Frob told me that they would glady accept some suggestions for the new AI names. Let's be honest, they could use the help. Think of some names for the AI to use and post them here. Please segregate them by faction, and please be appropriate with these.

Oxomoco - goddess of astrology and the calendar
Teteoinnan - mother of the gods
Yacatecuhtli (also Yactecuhtli) - the god of merchants and travellers

Figure this might help, if not make me look like a jerk.
Sard's basic guidelines to naming a ship:
Strive for at least two words so that it stands apart and can be more lovingly nicknamed.
No Latin for Latins sake. This applies to all languages. Exemptions if you're using a phrase that's best known in its native tongue or otherwise is "lost in translation."
As with exotic languages, avoid mythology for its own sake. Anyone can go to Wikipedia and bring up a list of names from any pantheon; These are guarenteed to be overused or to be obscure and without impact. Add something to the name: An adjective, a finer detail of the subject, even if it's just "Ares' Ire," to distinguish the ship.
If you're only using one word, make it powerful. "Indomitable," "Terror," "Executioner." These are names for conveying an idea with no frills. Don't overuse this, or you just get a bunch of ships violating the first rule instead of a handful of awesome exceptions to it. This rule is closely tied to the rule about theme names.
Other category theme names. I try to avoid these, but for military ships of the line, this is usually okay if the ships can be considered "background characters." Exceptions for things like landmarks or special situations as in the previous rule.
The Han Solo test. Imagine Harrison Ford saying the name.
Will probably edit or update this later.

Yeah, most of the ships right now fail to meet these guidelines, but I like them. More Ship names are always good, and if you want to replace current ones go right ahead in suggestion
