Mark, if you go with 42, think about spelling it out, FORTY-TWO. Avoid names that are hard to pronounce. There’s a boat at our marina with a difficult Italian name that starts with a V, has a G in the middle, and ends with an A. Unfortunately for the owner, we all refer to it as THE VIAGRA BOAT. Ugh.
Our C&C is named BADNESS with the hailing port Blackbeard Island, Georgia. It suits my husband perfectly as he looks (and sometimes acts) like a pirate, plus his name is Roger. Original owner named it WHISPER, a name that just didn’t sound like us. Good luck! Looks like you’re getting lots of good suggestions from this group.
