Because adding the P allows Spike some more diversity on his part.

That is the best suggestion I've heard yet. It sounds adequate. I might even say it sounds decent.

I ran their names through a ship name generator, and this is what it spewed back out. Some of them are completely ridiculous, but I kept them in for the sake of rigor.

embe, emke, embke, emike, epike, embeke, embere, embike, empike, espike, emberke, embpike, emspike, embepike, emberike, emberpike, embespike

sber, sper, spir, smber, spber, spikr, sember, spiber, spiker, spember, spikber, spimber, spikeber, spikmber

Spiker seems valid, but at the same time could use more individuality of with Ember's name.
