Minds' Names
Main article: List of spacecraft in the Culture seriesMinds (and, as a consequence, Culture starships) usually bear names that do a little more than just identify them. The Minds themselves choose their own names, and thus they usually express something about a particular Mind's attitude, character or aims in their personal life. They range from funny to just plain cryptic. Some examples are:
- Sanctioned Parts List - a habitation / factory ship
- So Much For Subtlety - a habitation / factory ship
- All Through With This Niceness And Negotiation Stuff - a warship
- Attitude Adjuster - a warship
- Of Course I Still Love You - an ambassador ship
- Funny, It Worked Last Time... - an ambassador ship

Famous quotes containing the word names:
“Oh yes, children often commit murders. And quite clever ones, too. Some murderers, particularly the distinguished ones who are going to make great names for themselves, start amazingly early.... Like mathematicians and musicians. Poets develop later.”
—John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)
