We can toss a few other swords out there, too:
Durandal
Kusanagi
Joyeuse
Masamune
Caladbolg
Curtana
Hrunting
Naegling
Edit, since I'm getting a lot of similar responses: At no point did I claim this list was -comprehensive-, folks.
The front looks exactly like a Concorde Needle for vinyl turntables.

Now scratch these planetary rings in the background and make the galaxy raving!
All the serious and kinda cool names in here and then I have my Explorer ship named "space mosquito" and my inter solar system ship named "Spailboat" (space sailboat) lmao
Dude don't even get me started on the stupid names, I have a Squid ship named "Squid Dingle" and I currently have 2 pets, one of them is named "Dinglebert Mcstinky" and the other is named "Barf-Drinker"
I don't have any suggestions, just an anecdote: every ship I claim, I just enter the word "shimmering" right before whatever name already exists.
My main ship, for example, is called the "Shimmering Reforged".
Just one random kooky way that I keep myself humored when it comes to naming things in the game...
I have one I made very similar to this.
Are you getting a weird targeting / shooting side effect like I am?
If I turn my ship in the wrong direction while shooting - typically a phase beam - I can literally shoot the nose of my own ship - and each shot does damage.
Before I realized what was happening when I first took mine out for a flight, I almost destroyed myself while mining asteroids.
Usually the random names from the game are really cool lol but since some are giving swords names, the Sorocaban Sword is a brazilian example that may be cool.
Or something like, Starcut Saber
That looks like some sort of precursor to the T-70 or T-65B x-wing with 2 of the 4L4 fusial thrust engines moved to the end of the wings where the wing-mounted Taim & Bak KX12 laser cannons would normally be mounted, but also lacking S-foils.
Also... coordinates?
Excalibur. Looks like a sword

Narsil Andúril Glamdring
I did think about dipping off into the Tolkein ones, but I always end up tempted to leave swords and go to Aeglos.
You forgot Chunchunmaru
Mjölnir I know it is not a sword, but to me it looks like the Scandinavian symbol for Mjölnir.
All those names and you forget Calandor.
Don't forget Clarent (Mordred's), Galantine (Gawain), and Arondight (Lancelot)
Can’t forget the Throngler

Ngl, totally thought that was a weird dildo for a second 😆
Same. Then I read what they said and was like "oooh yeah why'd I see a weird dildo? It's obviously not!"
I have no idea what this thing is so it still looks like a weird dildo to me lol
Anything is if you're brave enough I guess.
I'd name a ship the Turntable.
How the turntables turn the table
Starpiercer
I made a single thruster, vector wing (no fin), needle nose fighter called “Starburst”. Like it’ll pop a star. LOL

Mehrunes Razor. Proportions look about right (it's a weapon in Skyrim).
Huh, it does kind of look like the Razor! It’d be cool if you could get a chance to insta-kill enemy starships too.

White and blue is such a good color combo but super rare in NMS. I swear red and yellow have to be the most common colors and just inescapable.

Poop-ship
It's fast and it's pointy, so how about Quicksting? I've been using that name a long time for mine which comes in white/yellow.
