Character Names

In my side job, writing, I frequently have a need for a name of something or somebody. For example, "Character X served on the USS [ship name]." Well, in my latest book, I named a ship the USS Priti Shah. She's a friend of mine and I had forgotten I did that until last night, when we were at a Rotary event and she reminded me! (She's listening to the audiobook on her commute.) Sometimes it's fun to be an author!
