When there was no captain assigned to the ship in question (say for those never commissioned), I look at the name's history for potential inspiration.Ĥ. the lettered classes of British Commonwealth destroyers), I use the name of the first captain as inspiration (or for a vessel whose commanding officer died when the ship was sunk, that person). the Flower-class corvettes) or classes where naming structures are based on the same first letter (i.e.

Ships of a small class size usually share family names (I've done this often with the Japanese, Russian/Soviet and Italian shipgirls).ģ. If a ship is named after a specific person, I give the shipgirl the same family name and base the given names on her namesake's relatives (mothers, wives, daughters, etc).Ģ.

My rules concerning how to figure out what human name to give a particular shipgirl tends to vary, but I have created some trends.ġ. Along the way, I've composed a considerable number of lists by class and type of human names for myself to reference and to inspire others in their own writings. Eventually, I branched out this idea into stories such as The Seventh Shipgirl and follow on series, finding it more comfortable to reference these people by their human names than their ship names. The original idea for this concept came when I wrote a short story I called A Girl's Name, where a human 'fan' of the shipgirls came up with proper human names for various warship spirits so that they would be seen more as human beings than actual living weapons such was also inspired by one of my favourite KanColle fanfics, The Greatest Generation (with many thanks, of course, to sasahara17 for creating the human name for the Big E and Battleship X, which I've used in my stories). Since some people find the lists a little distracting, I've elected to put them up on a separate thread here. I've made entries in the Kantai Collection Ideas and Recommendations thread over on SpaceBattles concerning listings of proposed human names for shipgirls.
