If you had a boat what would you name it?

As subject really.
We are hoping to buy a river cruiser. The one we’ve seen has a name that is personal to the current owners. We can change the name but we’re not sure what to change it to, we’re not very creative I’m afraid.

Canta Forditt

Stormageddon
or
Shadowfax

I could give you my boats name OP, by private message if you like.

It evokes a combination of a 1980’s song, history/fantasy and water. Six letters.

I have one....Avocet.😁
The name of bird local to your area would be good.

That didn't take long

I thought of that.

Then I thought ‘No’. Been done before hasn’t it?

Ragdoll - like Rosie and Jim's boat.
Dignity was my first thought though,I must admit.

Here is mine. She is a small boat, good for sticking to estuaries and rivers.

Her name

Is it on the Broads? I would love a cruiser on the Broads, I grew up amongst the boat yards, sadly dh is not a water fan.

The thing about boat names is if it’s anything more than a dinghy you end up saying it a lot. Often over radio with not the best reception. Something that is fairly unique but still easy to pronounce, recognize and spell and is not potentially embarrassing is important.

Saw a clever one called Retirement Plan last summer.

Why don't you think of something that reflects your favourite river, or some feature along it?

Seabatical !!

Baleine

Is that the feminine version of Balonz?!

Fierce Barry

Cassé-et-Pété for something a little more continental?
