I have to say, I am a bit kerfuffeld. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this game. I have already made amazing memories in the Beta. Everything is from the good side of solid to amazing.
Except...the vehicle names.
In Halo, vehicle names were very nicely patterned. Categorized if you will. UNSC had animals (Warthog, Scorpion, etc.) and Covenant had spirits (wraith, ghost, etc.)
So...can someone with some authority tell me whats really going on in Destiny land? I mean Sparrow, Pike, and Interceptor???
What the hell in is this in common? A bird, a fish, and a....thing that grabs stuff headed for another target?
Now we looked this up, and there doesnt appear to be a bird or a fish named 'interceptor' and anyway a bird CLEARLY is not a fish, I mean really.
I hope those names aren't set in stone. I am personally hoping all vehicles will be named after types of fish.

The Sparrow, Pike, and Interceptor are not all the same faction. By your own logic there's no reason to have a naming convention :p Also, technically, everything that isn't your default hoverbike shouldn't even be called a Sparrow (Hint, their Nomads and the like. All diff...for some reason). In general though honestly, their names are very strange. Vanguard can mean one of three things. And enemies went from being Hunter and Grunt to being Ascendant Knight and Servitor. My clan has degenerated to calling stuff "the angry purple ball" and "Those flood guys, I mean Hive" Also, Dinklebot
