No Man's Sky Ship Name Generator

Ships in No Man's Sky arrive with procedurally generated names built from two parts: an alien-sounding word assembled from soft syllables (Tsukinaga, Yobiraku, Oshurane) and either a model code like S51, XS9 or ST3, or an epithet such as "of the Sun" or "'s Mercy". Once you claim a ship you can rename it at the starship terminal or in the quick menu, so most players end up with a mix of game-style names and personal ones. This generator covers both: the procedural pattern for players who want a new ship to look native to the Euclid galaxy, and custom names drawn from the game's own vocabulary.

That vocabulary is richer than it looks. Atlas, the Travellers, Nada and Polo, the Anomaly, Sentinels, Korvax, Gek and Vy'keen all carry weight with anyone who has finished the Artemis path, and resources like cadmium, emeril, indium and activated copper double as colour words. Expedition titles (Polestar, Leviathan, Emergence, Omega) make clean single-word names. Living ships suit fleshy, biological phrasing; Sentinel interceptors suit crystalline and harmonic language; haulers and salvaged wrecks earn affectionate nicknames like Rusty Bucket or Late Rent.

Pick a name that matches the hull class and the way you actually fly it. A squid-type exotic deserves something sleek, a 48-slot hauler something sturdy and self-deprecating, and an explorer something astronomical.
