How the Royal Navy named capital ships

Did Royal Navy battleships and battlecruisers follow a naming theme?

They mostly drew from prestigious traditional names used by earlier high-rated ships, with admiral names representing a less typical departure.

The naming system draws on a reservoir of traditional names associated with the most prestigious ships of earlier fleets. Those names then pass to battleships, battlecruisers and carriers rather than following a single literal theme. Renown and Repulse fit the alliterative pattern surrounding the R-class lineage. Admirals' names were a more noticeable break because they were not the Royal Navy's dominant capital-ship tradition.
