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.

I once bought a small fishing boat off a pot head who called it the Marie-Joanna 😬

That one would have the perverts stopping by to have a peer into the cabin window!

Das Boot

Considering that 'The Cottage' and 'The Bungalow' are frequently in the top 10 lists for house names, that's not really that lazy at all - at least you've taken the trouble to put it into a different language!

If you worked at the sewage works and enjoyed spending your days off on the boat, how about No Poo Poirot?

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?

I spotted Daughter's Inheritance recently.

Thought it was meant to be unlucky to rename a bit?

My Grandpa's boats were the "Dream Chaser", and "Sky Painter" which always seemed so romantic...

Just bare in mind if is unlucky to rename a boat unless you go through a long winded ceremony.....involving a lot of alcohol!
