ss stands for steam ship. mv stands for motor vessel. its what the propulsion of the vessel is supplied from.
you can name a ship anything you like. normally ship-companies name their vessels in series. like all different bird names. or war heros. i even seen operas. you should really name a ship with a girl name. ships are girls.

SS=Steam Ship.
Many ships, especially on the great lakes, are named after prominent persons in the company.
My boat is named after my grandmother.

A steamboat (aka steamer), is a boat or vessel that is propelled by steam power driving a propeller or paddlewheel. The term steamboat usually refers to smaller steam-powered boats that usually work on rivers and lakes; steamship refers to larger ships capable of ocean travel. Steamships generally carry the ship prefix "SS" before their names. Although paddle steamers are often driven by a steam engine, they are normally counted separately and carry the prefix "PS".
