If you want to model the codenames on the NATO style, then syllable
count is significant. Typically a one-syllable name would be a smaller
or less powerful vessel, so it's unfortunate that the Catfish and
Crake are canonically that way round. Also you'd want to avoid
three-syllable names completely, or reserve them for the very biggest
ships.

(Dean, we can argue about how many syllables "Coyote" has, but I think
it's three. :-)
