Also, as temeraire mentioned, Iain [M] Banks has some pretty good names, especially for spaceships in his Culture novels. Examples include Very Little Gravitas Indeed and Ravished By The Sheer Implausibility Of That Last Statement.
I love the names of the spaceships, too.

Ce'Nedra is one of the rare cases where the apostrophe is justified.

A Song of Ice and Fire tends to have good names. Grounded, but just exotic enough. *NM*

I don't know who has the best names overall, but I'll always love the name Bellatrix Lestrange.
