Cygnus and Palomino are the two ships from Disney's movie The Black Hole.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Does anyone else say this in their best Boromir voice when Dick Cheney appears on their TV screen? Just me?

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Wasn't Moya's baby named Talyn? And D'Argo's ship was Lo'la.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday Daisy Jane!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Speaking of ships here on Earth - the British have the coolest names. Like Indefatigable and Indomitable and Dreadnought. The Japanese have the oddest names (by Western standards, anyway): Hiryu ("Flying Dragon"), Soryu ("Green Dragon") and Zuikaku ("Fortunate Crane").

The Turks have/had a submarine named after my pirate ancestor the "Murat Reis." I wonder if the sub crew occasionally considered living up to their namesake.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
...The Rodger Young, Polaris, Pleides, Helva, Venture*.
And since I have a convalescent trapped in the comfy chair with the laptop, and was asking him about ships' names he remembers, he found this:
Science Fiction Spaceship names.
You scroll down and hit the Interstellar class ship names? Amazing how many I remember.
I have to go order a copy of Green Hills of Earth, now. It's the only Heinlein I'll have in the house, and our copy disintegrated. Time to replace it.
*This Venture was from Forty Thousand in Gehenna, Robin, not your classic book. Nice name, though!
