I've always wondered how a major British car company could have made the major marketing gaff call calling their product after a dog, so you may like to return Rover's compliment by calling him "Car".

Or since you will be shouting the name quite a bit, sometimes in boaty surroundings, you may consider, for the entertainment and confusion value:

Give way
Let go
Starboard
Cast off
Mayday
Aground
(Fire may be going too far...)

Call it Boat. You can then claim that you have at least 2 boats .....

 

[Iota]

There are two terriers on a boat in Plymouth called Rockall and Finnistre

 

[Evadne]

Whatever you call him, it's a bit like boat names, try and imagine yourself calling him to heel in a crowded park. As in "Here ******" or "Tarquin, come here at once!",
Similarly "Genghis" applied to dogs of small stature.

What about "Ensign"?

ed: Bloomin eck, that swear filter's a bit fierce!

 

[Peter D]

Dog name

R-over?

 

[Twister_Ken]

Must be "Rowlocks"

Would enable you to explain to an enquiring passer-by "The dog's Rowlocks".

 

[TQA]

Soggy Paws

 

[puddock]

Similarly "Genghis" applied to dogs of small stature.

Reminds me of a comment my wife wife made years ago. Someone had bought me a pair of Wicked Willie Boxer shorts...
She retorted that it was "like calling a poodle Brutus"

Still no idea what she was on about.................

 

[jason -and the arguenauts]

Given its likely inclination to run fast in any direction at random, causing havoc for all concerned, you could call it " mobo".

Or yopu could forget the nautical theme, call it Gordon and enjoy kicking it in the nuts every so often
