Presuming the "Ajax" referred to is Class 50 046, she was named after HMS Ajax, in turn named for the Greek hero Ajax. Both are pronounced "Ay-jacks".

This contrasts with the pronunciation in Elizabeth I's time when it was pronounced as "uh-jakes" making a neat pun with a colloquialism of the period for a privy (i.e. toilet facilities) which was sometimes referred to as "the Jakes".
