The Ship With No Name has parts from both the Ulysses and the Apollo.

Hmm... I was planning on staying within the conventional FS naming system, but pantheon.org is down...

Here's some name from my Mythology book from school:
Callisto  ,  Eros
Halcyon  ,  Hydra
Io     ,    Naxos
Phaedrus  ,  Pyrrah
Rhesus   ,  Scyros
The book has many more, but these, I think are the best ship names.

Ohhhh!!! I really like the Ship With No Name.

What's wrong with Ulysses Mk2? If not that, then how about Aeneas (or maybe Aeneid?). When I think about next generation Ulysses, I think something like Ulysses (wandering around). And Aeneas was a Trojan warrior who survived Troy to wander to Rome.

No, he's not back for real, just popping his head in to say "hello" while on break from classes.

 
I thought there was already a Ulysses Mk. II by Bobboau.  I think it was nicknamed the Odysseues though.  
EDIT: It was a reskin in the Volitionwatch Archives
Here the download.

Well, I must say that this "new version" of the Ulysess looks cool. Dark and slick.

I like it.

Personally, I'd call it a GTF Manta Ray.

It looks kinda like a Manta Ray if you look at it just right...

 Ulysseus is latin for Odysseus.  So why not focus on early roman hero?  If you want Greek, Theseus is the one who slew the minotaur.  Tantilus is a cool name based on a royal family curse.  Orestes is the name of the heroe who undid curse.  Thats a few

What about names other that Greek? Seems kind of restricted though.
