Handy tip #2164351/c:
Make your ship name lists in Excel, one name per row. This makes it easy to count and sort your ships names. When you've finished making the list, just highlight them all and copy/ paste into notepad.

Love the Culture name file (coz I love the Culture novels) but there are a few "accidental" entries in there. For example I think "From Look to Windward", "Affront ships" and "Zetetic Elench Ships" are actually comments from the website about the list rather than the names of ships. But I haven't read all the books so I can't be sure=-) There are probably a few others like that in there too.
