What would you name a space shuttle?

All of the airliners I know have names. KLM and Scandinavian both name their aircraft. In some cases they name 'em after destinations or places, in other cases they name them after famous historical people. In some cases I've seen 'em named for famous pilots.

In addition, it is very common to name military aircraft. I rarely ever flew on a plane in the US Air Force that didn't have a name.

sorpendarin or sorpenderin or orbiter(named after shuttle orbiters and orbiter)

Space Shuttles Celestia and Luna.

Naming a spacecraft Daedelus is a copyright infringement, IMO. Virgin Interactive got there first when they released the game The Daedelus Encounter.

One of my favorite ship names comes from the Star Trek universe. It's a vessel name as well as a vessel class name. I'd have liked to see it on the side of a shuttle.

Excelsior

There is in fact, a Daedalus-class starship in Star Trek.

I like the name Bob.
Wait, in Hebrew spacecrafts are females so I'd call her Martha.

Why do I get a picture of Blackadder in front of my eyes saying "Bob"?
