Best boat names

[stevd]

Ok, the time has come to rename my moody, I want to do this before my first launch, which will hopefull not be too far away.

I have a few ideas but they maybe frowned upon. As it is a moody I am thinking a long the lines of Moody Beach or Moody Winch.

Too offensive?

Boat names are incredibly personal, but the acid test for me is to insert it into this sentence:

Holyhead Coastguard, Holyhead Coastguard, Holyhead Coastguard this is xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, over.

If you then imagine everyone in range pissing themselves laughing, you've chosen the wrong name.

I agree, but do be beware of naming it after a female relative!! :ambivalence:

Call it OVER UNDER!!!

I can't remember who told the story (it may be the late lamented Bill Beavis) but what about "quack quack"

Nobody will call out to you as you go past.

There is a fantastic boat name in the yard I am at called Huw Jars, with a 'cracking' picture to go with it

First boat I sailed on was called Donald Duck. I did have to use the radio a few times and it failed this test!

I don't understand why those might be offensive, but then I'm a simple soul... And don't have any expectation of owning a boat, even a messy one, so offer the name I came up with: "Squall Lore".

Haha I like it mike

A bit like when we heard someone calling 'Solent Coastguard, Solent Coastguard, this is Don't Panic, over'

forcing the coastguard to respond... yep, you've got it.

Moody Cowes

Difficult to come up with a unique name beginning "Moody ????????"

so I proffer Ye Olde English names for Moody:

English Modig - which means brave, impetuous, or bold.

Occasionally, the surname Moody is derived from the female personal name Melodia

Nice talking point when rafted up over a glass or several!!!!

(ex Moody 346 owner)

Moody Cowes

I was thinking just Moody Cow - I hadnt managed to put it into a polite format - Love it - nice one

 

[surekandoo]

I've often thought of changing my boat's name to "Bottomless Pit!"

 

[stevd]

Moody high maintenance beach it is then

Amusing (very) though this is, isn't it a bit like saddling your child with a nickname to do with a questionable character trait or a superficial likeness? Or a bit like someone buying a personalised licence plate BMW 123/ JAG 123/ XJS 123/ XXX 911?

Rather than identifying it by its manufacturer, how about instead giving the boat a character that means something to you or a loved one?

XXX 911 is a terrific number plate.

Am I brave enough to say....in that case my previous post is still valid
