SpaceX only names their manned vehicles, so expect tankers and freighters to be called only by serial numbers, besides Heart of Gold. I would appreciate if Depots that are permanently in LEO get treated like stations, with any name as long as it ends in "station"
They are still going to need a crap ton of names for a crap ton of manned starships though. Some naming schemes could work that provide many names, while still keeping up a high quality.
-Names based on places on Earth- Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, Saharan, Oceanic, etc
-Generic "space" names- Constellation, Galaxy, Supernova, Comet, Pulsar, etc
-Pop culture names- (SpaceX loves these, look at Falcon, Endurance, Heart of Gold, and all the culture series drone-ships) Serenity, Discovery One, Venture Star, Avalon, Red Dwarf, etc
-Last names of Astronauts that previously flew on Dragon, Hurley, Behnken, Pesquet, Isaacman, etc
You could also get free names by naming 4 after the dragon fleet, and 5 after the shuttles, (a dragon and a shuttle share the same name, so Endeavour would have to be the "Endeavour C") And for the rest just add a "B" after it to avoid confusion. I really like this one because that means there'll be an Enterprise B IRL. This also allows retired Starships to give their names to a newly commissioned craft while keeping a distinction.
