Is each CEV named differently?

I assume they will build more than one, like a fleet of shuttles. I think they should be a little more broad with their name selection though. Orion has been used too many times. The fleet would all be part of Project Constellation, and there are alot of constellations to choose from. I personally like Aquila, Dorado, Hydra, Phoenix, and Octans....

They could also be more artistic with their names, the video game Halo had starships named after symbols of culture, such as "The Pillar Of Autumn", and another was called "Truth And Reconciliation". I'm not creative enough to write a novel or even a short story, but I can think of a few similarly creative names for spaceships, such as:

The Future Is Bright
Knowledge And Desire
Heart And Soul
Eternity
Eternity In Our Midst
The Bright And Shining Star
Mist On Morning Water
Wind of Change
Pillar of Fire
