I've alway wondered how rude one could be with a boat name before it was disallowed by the nav authority.

Presumably there is a list of prohibited words.

I think French would be okay like "Putain de Merde".

The rudest English boat name I have seen is " Up yaws'. Sealine.

Many, many years ago and under a much (better) Thames management regime we were refused 'Miss Ogyny' and, subsequently, 'Merry Fornication' ... but we were much younger then ??

I prefer something clever with meaning., that said my last boat was named after a Pokemon, only the kids at the pub knew what it was ! my current name is also a nod to the model of the boat.

Pistol Knight

My favourite though was Fridays Takings. Always wondered what line of business he was in as it was on a large Sealine or something similar.
