I once saw a boat called, MAYDAY, the coastguard used to give him a hard time, he changed the name after 6 months or so.

Well known place in Hong Kong. The "a " is pronounced long, as in "aaaaaahhh".

The famous ship "Titan Uranus" ISTR was a photoshop fake but there is a Wana Bhum registered in Bangkok.

I heard about one that was renamed Quack Quack. the owner figured that no-one would stand on a pontoon and shout at him

Some of the expats I knew who lived there didn't bother with the long "a".

One of the best boat names I've come across was Krow. Work spelt backwards i.e the opposite of work

In Ballymena they would reply : "I cannae go any quacker!"

I can't find my photo of a small German boat 'Shit Happens'

Other contenders were also German. 'Sailing Misery' and the puzzling 'Iritis'.

I recently read something about a beautiful wooden boat being launched called "morning wood"....I mean, why would you?

No. It’s painted on the bow as well!

Some people have a strange sense of humour.
When I changed my boats name my criteria was that it would be easy to understand and not need to spell it when I call the CG, so I chose the name based on the fact that the boat is a Countess - Lady and the livery is in Red.

I once saw a boat called, MAYDAY, the coastguard used to give him a hard time, he changed the name after 6 months or so.

There used to be a boat on East coast called Payday. That caused a few panic calls to the coastguard too.

I remember once seeing a river boat named Cirrhosis of the River, and let's not forget Boaty McBoatface.

Surely that should have been Ship Happens.....

Even though the well known picture was a bit dodgy, it seems that there were two ships called Titan Uranus. See Titan Uranus Hoax – Solved – Maritime Accident Casebook The first one is still on Marine Traffic, position unknown, despite having been scrapped sixteen years ago. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:922319/mmsi:-7614252/imo:7614252/vessel:TITAN_URANUS

I often see a charter boat in Gocek called "Anchor Management".
