Our MS is named Ada, after Ada Lovelace. Here's a recent glamour shot from Arizona.
I really don't think NCC-1701-anything is obscure...
Name of my X will be 'Samantha' or Sammy: She does magic and the voice behind the most common voice recognition/response/IVR prompts is called 'Samantha'. (The magic part is from 'Bewitched', for those that are of a certain age....)

Currently it's ECLIPSE CHASER, but it's time to change that.
The first name I gave him was THE STARKSHIP ENTERPRISE
Last March while I was parked waiting for my daughter to get done with practice I named him STEALTH MODE, then 5 min later a teenage girl backed her car into the side of him while I was still parked, causing $4500 worth of damage. Too stealthy I guess
Two months later I got rear ended on the freeway in stop and go traffic and then named him BUMPER MAGNET.
Other names:
CURSED (shortly after the first accident)
BLACK MONEY HOLE (After being turned down by the 3rd party insurance for the $1300 out of pocket repair costs for the first accident. They refused to pay the full "Tesla" labor rate.)
BUILT FOR THE FUTURE (after hearing the Fixx song with the same name)
BLACK HOLE (probably when I was depressed after hearing that Chris Cornell killed himself)
BLIND SPOT (hit twice in the first five months of ownership)
THE TESSA (my daughter named it after her best friend)
THE BADASS MOBILE (that's obvious)
THE FUTURE (even more obvious)
On his way back from eclipse chasing.

Poor car's going to get a complex, being called so many things!Currently it's ECLIPSE CHASER, but it's time to change that.

Curious as to why for this one.
Not OP, but this was the name of Don Quixote's horse - meaning kind of "old nag" but more ... and it's also the name of a great ship in The Expanse space opera on SyFy, which in turn is based on an amazing set of books. It was among my favorite names from Don Quixote, and is again very top of mind because of The Expanse.
I really don't think NCC-1701-anything is obscure...
I am envious that you could hold such an skewed view of the general population.
Well, perhaps not the *general* population, but the semi-techie population.
I hear what you say, though... Perhaps we should strive to make it not obscure.... I got the Don Quixote reference, but wasn't his 'old nag' just like him? Maybe I don't remember it the same way. I was just curious if this was the reference. It seems that the ship from The Expanse would be more likely. Haven't watched that show, so I hadn't heard of it. Is it a good show?

Good name. Also the name of John Steinbeck's camper-pickup in "Travels with Charley".
Mine is "Xolar".
