Asking for a friend. Unfortunately it isn't for me.

She likes unusual names and Crew and Cruise are on the list but any other suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

Did @NauticalNames ever make a reappearance?

I need to know if her friend wants these suggestions for an actual human child, or a pet?
