It looks like the purchase of the Feeling 720 may well be back on track, but if it goes ahead, she is going to need renaming.

There is another boat of the same name (owned by the vendor) currently racing in some of the same races. A lot of people don’t even like the name she has anyway. I can’t think of a new name so I thought I might throw it open and see what people came up with.



Parameters- With the exception of RN, RNR and JSASTC boats, most of the significant boats in my life have either started with a M (Mistress, Matrix, Merit, Mister Rhino etc) or an L (Lutine, Lutine Belle, Lilly Love etc). So I would like something that started with one, other or both (if two words).

I have already ruled out Mobo Lyncher!
 
Mister Love
Mistress Lutine

Little max
Max little

Loopy moo
Morning Love

Morecombe lifeboat
Moveable lighthouse

M'Lud

Mary, then you could have a tender called Little Lamb...
 
You could always go for the same as was written on the side of Hamster's pickup when TG drove through Alabama.

I always wanted to name a boat "The Garden Centre". Could then give a truthful answer when asked where I was going on a Saturday morning.
 
Personally I prefer names to be of a woman (boats are female after all) and two to four syllables (passes the "VHF mayday" test) so may I suggest:
Miranda, Madeleine, Lolita.
Or if you prefer two words:
Little Miss, Lily Marlene, My Lady.
 
I know it doesn't fit you brief , but if I ever owned one, a Feeling HAS to be called:

PECULIAR as in Peculiar Feeling.
 
Or to go at it a different way

Mogul
Magical
Mystical
Minstrel

Lyceum
Legroom
Longterm
Laserbeam

It's a big lump of plastic and metal and wood, in the shape of a boat, that I live on and go places in /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif But then I'm just an old sentimentalist me /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I believe three syllables sound right for some reason. That, added to the "feeling" theme and beginning with an L or M should bring up something, but I keep on coming back to "Groovy". Sorry
