He is a warrior afterall.
They probably named it after the Klingons joined the Federation.

A terrible name is the USS Omaha Nebraska. Not because I have anything against the city or the state; but, because it flies against what I think a ship name should be. It should be named after one or the other, not both.
On the other hand, maybe Starfleet and the Klingon Defense Force christened ships after one-another's leaders during the Khitomer Crisis jointly -- maybe Starfleet christen the USS Gorkon at the same time the Defense Force christened the IKS Ra-ghoratreii
"Hi, we're Starfleet. We come in peace and we're happy to make first contact with you. In fact, we're all about love, peace, joy, cute puppies and rainbows. Please don't be put off by the names of the ships in our convoy. Yeah, they're USS Aggressor, USS Violator, USS Exterminator, USS Genociderer and USS Widowmaker, but that's only to prevent the Klingons thinking of us as softies.
Even though we could destroy your barely warp capable world with a single volley of our Quantum Torpedoes if we wanted to. We reckon you've got nukes or perhaps early fusion bombs. Our babies are about three centuries more advanced and destructive than that.
But we won't because we like peace. Well, most of the time.
Now, shall we negotiate in peace and harmony about your dilithium supplies?"

Perhaps "Omaha Nebraska" was actually the name or nom de guerre of some heroic figure in Starfleet history, whose name just happened to sound like a geographic location similar to Indiana Jones or Carmen Sandiego or something.

Another bad name would be the U.S.S. Terror, after one of the two ship's from the doomed Franklin Expedition to find the Northwest Passage. Despite the history of the ship and the mystery surrounding her legacy I wouldn't see the name working well with universal translators.
Nah. The USS Hannah Montana would be a Lizzie McGuire-class starship serving alongside her sister ships the USS Kim Possible, the USS Raven Baxter, the USS Zack & Cody, the USS Alex Russo, the USS CeCe Jones, the USS Carly Stevens, and the USS Tori Vega.
The Britney Spears would obviously be the lead ship of her class alongside the Miley Cyrus, the Christina Aguilera, the Jessica Simpson, the Mandy Moore, the Nick Lachey, the Ashlee Simpson, the Justin Timberlake, the Nick Carter, the Selena Gomez, the Ariana Grande, the P!nk, the Katy Perry, and the Harry Styles, the Zayn Malik, and the Demi Lovato. All supervised from Starbase Carson Daly.
I broadly knew about the 2000s-era Disney Channel and Nickelodeon teen sitcoms that were popular at the time, but I must confess that the Wikipedia Machine taught me the names of most of the main characters besides Lizzie McGuire and Kim Possible.
Why do I have a feeling that exact color combination is a reference to something German? I'd be Surprised if it weren't

Guilty as charged, but it also works well for the early 2000s "Teen Nick" aesthetic
I think you're showing your age with this paragraph. Mandy Moore's popstar days are well in the past, and I don't even remember the last time anyone talked about Ashlee Simpson or Carson Daly. Hell, the only reason I've heard about Nick Lachey in the past year is because his current wife is the lead of NCIS Hawaii.
Rut roh.
Eh, it was the bad guy ship captained by a war mongering Badmiral. Not seeing the problem.Well it's nu-trek so gotta be edgy with the names, reimagining the characters and the retcon reboot
We've seen a USS Avenger in Beta Canon. Vengeance/Avenger. Is there a real difference?
Oh, 100%. I mean, this was in reply to a reference to Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, so I was pulling from early 2000s-to-early 2010s pop stars and teen sitcoms.
