There's so many different answers to this...
The short answer is that it'll fall on the whims of the manufacturer and/or issuing authority. In some cases, they may choose a name which they think invokes a sense of ferocity (ex, Panther tank, Tiger tank, King Tiger tank, Cobra helicopter, etc). In others, it may be for national heroes or historical figures (ex., Sergeant York SP antiaircraft gun, Abrams main battle tank, Patton main battle tank, naval vessels, etc.).
