Note that the habitats and space stations in the Culture were generally much less comedic than the ship names, and were generally random assortments of letters that may be words in an unknown language (Vavatch, Chiark, Masaq) or descriptive (Phage,Tier, Pittance).
Banks generally took the position that a spaceship can choose any name, humorous or otherwise, whereas a space station or habitat needs a little more
…gravitas.
Having said that, here are a few space station and habitat names from the Orion’s Arm universe. Since it is set in the future timeline of Earth, some of these are named using cultural referents we might be familiar with.
Sagan, Clarke, Asimov, Roddenberry, Vishnu, Sita, Asherah, Conchobar, Cuchulain, O’Neill, McKendree, Bernal, Stanford, Curie, Payne, Franklin, Porco, Metropolis, Aleph, Beth, Daleth, Karoo, Serengeti, Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo, Gummo, Shemp…
It would be Ring McRingface or Wheel McWheelface for a space station, surely.
I might not feel comfortable traveling in a ship named after a guy killed in a ship accident.
How about five guys? The USS The Sullivans. (yes the The is part of the name.)
You’d have to ask the crewmen of The Sullivans.
I wouldn’t be very hot about flying into or from Will Rogers airport, either. Naming an airport after a guy killed in a plane wreck! But then the air force did it frequently. Perhaps I’m superstitious.
Better not fly into Chicago then. 
At that, I always thought Virgin Airlines was kind of a weird choice; the selling-point connotation you’re going for is that you’ve — never actually done this before?
How about flying into an airport named after the guy who fired all the Air Traffic Controllers?
Both acceptable, if unusual, names.

Discourse is a dick.
Would Expano_Mapcase and Buck_Godot elaborate? Is this a _ thing?
Bacon, Copernicus, Curie, Darwin, Einstein, Euclid, Franklin, Galileo, Mendel, Newton
So how about:
Yes we have no gravitas
How much for the gravitas in the window
Standing behind the door when the gravitas was handed out
More:
When your gravitas fails (and negativitas don’t pull you through)
What gravitas means to me
Biscuits and gravitas
Those are good. I would add Hawking.
I’m fond of the idea of naming real spaceships after fictional ones, because they kind of inspired us.
The problem is that unless we go mostly Star Trek, which would be boring (and a lot of ST ships are named after real ships - Enterprise, Yamato, Discovery, etc) most fictional spaceships with memorable or appropriate names have bad connotations. Event Horizon, well, you don’t want to serve on that ship. Same with Nostromo or Sulaco; you’d be scared all the time. Rodger Young served a fascists state. Is the Milano named after Alyssa Milano?
Heart of Gold and Millennium Falcon are good though.
