The short Weapon-class series prompts suggestions for a much larger naming pool. Broadsword and Battleaxe could be joined by names such as Halberd or Ballista, with an image helping people recognise an unfamiliar weapon. Flower names offer another readily expandable theme and plenty of opportunities for wordplay. Bird names provide similar variety. The objection to names such as a particular person's eagle is a preference for names that work clearly on their own, rather than a rule about naval naming.
