Have been thinking on this for the last couple of hours. VS does V smartly indeed match registrations and names and does this in a brill manner.
VNAP Sleeping Beauty
VFAR Diana
VWKD - Miss Behavin
VWIN - Lady Luck
These all and others make so much sense.
There are some I cant understand however. Can you please let me know if possible.
VBLU - Soul Sister
VELD - African Queen
VHOL - Jetstreamer
What do these mean or how were they coined

V-BLU - as in Soul and Blues music
V-ELD - The Veld
is a number of plataeus in South Africa that occupy two thirds of the country.
V-HOL - as in Virgin Holidays.
The entire fleet list can be found
here, there are some very good ones.

Out of interest (may have been covered before), who gets to name the planes? Are there special people or is it somebody different every time?

I don't know about VS (I wish I had that job;)) but at Jetblue, they use employee suggestions.

On the which aircraf? section of this website, I checked to see if the plane I flew on matched the aircraft.
On VS10 - 6/10/06 it says G-VYOU but on checking the side of the plane before departure, the plane was actually G-VSSH -Sweet Dreamer.[:(]
but then checking the database, it says G-VSSH was actually the VS10 flight while on the 6/10/06 G-VYOU was VS24 [:?]
