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!

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!

Ours is called Idle Eyes

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!
