The trouble with a joke name is that you may have to live with it for several years. Just keep thinking, and when you hit the right one you will know immediately.

For our Moody, we did consider Moody Mare (Mood d'mer for the Franglaise amongst us!)

There was an Aussie boat called Boom Cover. That always made me laugh. And yes it apparently had the name on the boom cover.

It'd have any French crew scrambling for the jib sheet. (Le foc is the jib.)
When my genny halyard snapped at the masthead in mid-channel last summer, I needed to replace it when we reached Honfleur. Genoa halyard = la drisse de foc. Or la fokking drisse, as I preferred to call it that day.

There is a racing boat called 'Exocet Attack' which must be interesting when calling the coastguard.

My next boat will be called "Frankly my dear..."
(Wish I could claim it is my idea but originally seen on motorboat in Sparkes)

"Can't ski" made me smile. Fiscardo if I remember correctly.

I saw a racing boat called ' Red Alert ' which must have made life interesting when using the VHF.
Also one called ' Shy Talk '...

Anyone would think that lots of people really don't like their boats, saddling them with names like these. Or else want every passer-by to snigger and mutter, "What a prat".

Why wouldn't you like your boat because of the name you give it. Parents give their children unusual names, does that mean they don't like them.
I also think that people that give their boats names with a little humour don't really care if some one is sniggering....I feel sorry for the person that is being like that. If however it makes someone smile and brightens their day a little, then it is doing no harm.

How about
I realise others have got close, but a picture or it didn't happen.

Modigliani was apparently a fanny sort of bloke...

Perhaps the OP needs to state which Moody he owns? There's a nice Frans Hals painting...The Laughing Halberdier...
...or, God forbid, he could call his boat...The Raft of the Moodusa?
