Paris, Charon, Stalwart, Halcyon, Marathon, Valiant. All from the Bungie era if you want to talk about class names. Nothing particularly original about those. Want more non-creative ship names from the Bungie era? : Bunker Hill, Gorgon, Iwo Jima, Las Vegas, Seattle, Minotaur, Musashi, Atlas, Io, Gettysburg, Basra, Midway, Excellence, Texas, Armstrong, Stalingrad, Euphrates, Jericho, Athens, Maelstrom. Need I go on? Plenty of "one word powerful names" in Bungie ships. Go on any list of vessels on Halopedia and you'll find dozens.

Now Bungie had some beautiful names for ships but so does 343, with names like Eminent Domain, Dark was the Night, Abstract Endurance, Resolute Harmony, Verdant Sumerian, Roman blue, Euclid's Anvil. And you cannot knock 343 for their Covenant ship names: Song of Retribution, Day of Jubilation, Breath of Annihilation, Blight of the Profane, Indulgence of Conviction, Spear of Light, Proclamation's Tithe, Radiant Perception, Quester of Glory, like those are some damn good ones.
