They certainly seem interesting. We'll be playing on the Uru server
<Myst Fan Mode>LONG LIVE URU!</Myst Fan Mode>
So are the names random, or is there a reason for each name? I hope I've typed/converted to Romaji well enough.

We've actually already gone over this in a previous topic.

The ship names (rune names) and their meanings:

Feoh: Wealth, Possessions,Cattle
Ur (uruz): Strength, good health, strong power of resistance
Thorn (Thurisaz): a sudden change without warning, a great obstacle, a storm, the power of Thor's Hammer.
Ansur (Ansuz): Signals, Omens, to speak divine truths, obtain wisdom.
Laguz: the flow, water, the sea, sorcery, intuitive knowledge.

Ken (kenaz): Fire, fire brand,power,action, things opening up for positive changes.
Gifu: Gift, partnership, presents, good fortune.
Wynn: Joy, wheel of fortune turned to your favor.
Hagal: literally hailstones, refers to delays, natural forces that damage, limitations.
Nauthiz: Need, a neccessity, a tight bond, obligation, hardship.

Ah, the link to those names seems weak at best though.

They're spot on actually.

[Peejay]

I think Mike has a point, as these are like straight up Romaji drops of the same names.

[Akaimizu]

Wynn: Joy, wheel of fortune turned to your favor.

^ So I guess the words of the same meaning sounds exactly the same in literal English.

Win

Wynn = Charlie Sheen's favorite ship ? *badum tss*

I guess most of us will be stuck in Ur/Ull. At least it has a good methaphorical sense...so that's a good sign.
