I'm trying to think of a name for my next boat.....

What is the most absurd name for a boat that you have seen recently?

Saw one once called " hello". Just imagine that on the VHF in the Solent!

And another tart trap that had been called "Dont tell the wife" . Just how naff can you get?
 
A speed boat in Chichester harbour called "Wild Pussy". That'll be an all male crew, then. You could probably raise an eyebrow with a name like "HMS Arkroyal" or "Atlantic Conveyor".
 
Used to be a red boat in the west country somewhere with a little yellow tender. Rhubarb and Custard.........

And a trimaran called "Jake the peg" diddle diddle diddle dum..........
 
Whislt not a name but a good aid.
If you go onto the MARS data base.
You can then search boats via mane.
This will tell you how many people world wide have though of your name before.

This data base comes from the ships radio licence.
So as long as they have one they appear on this list.
It is also a world wide data base.

Hope that helps.

Regards
 
One of my favourite bad 'uns - "Tits", with tenders Nipple 1 and Nipple 2

I threatened to call my boat Capricorn's Dream, with tender Virgo's Nightmare (SWMBO hated the trip out to the mooring and especially back at the end of the weekend).

For some reason the name change was vetoed by the Admiral. I can't think why.
 
Try dysdidokinesis - its a movement disorder. Saw it on a (Neurologist's) canal barge - but then he did have a lot of room to paint the name on. You might need a bigger transom.
