When we were choosing our boat name recently we had a few guidelines:
- No puns, silly names, or motor boat names ("Master Baiter")
- Relatively easy to pronounce, spell, and understand over the VHF
- Uniqueness - some names are very common (Amazing Grace, Second Wind, etc)
and it'd be unfortunate to have the same name as someone else in the marina
or sailing region. Ideally it'd even be unique in the US Coast Guard
database (which you can check online), in case you ever want to become a
documented vessel.If you're into music, a lot of our ideas revolved around song names - High Hopes (Pink Floyd), An Awesome Wave (Alt-J), Tessellate (Alt-J). Although some names - like An Awesome Wave - can seem like they're tempting the fates / sea gods. I wouldn't pick a name like Rogue Wave because for one it might be bad luck, and if you ever do get into trouble, people will say "I told you so." -Patrick S/V Violet Hour, LF38 Seattle, WA On Wed, Sep 16, 2015 at 8:49 PM, <cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com> wrote: > From: djhaug...@juno.com > To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com > Cc: > Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 21:53:59 -0400 > Subject: Stus-List boat names > OK coming up with a new name for our new boat is proving very difficult. > > I thought I would throw it out to you guys for some ideas! > > Maybe you came across something sometime and thought wow what a great name > for a boat! > > I can't believe this is so difficult...
