Most popular boat names?

[ari]

Just following on from the Hakuna Matata thread, what do we reckon are the most popular or used boat names?

I think:

Obsession

Carpe Diem

Grand Cru

Hakuna Matata

Sea Rider


Any others?

Hi
When we bought our first boat a couple of years back it was unnamed, SWMBO wanted to call it Enterprise - she is a manic Star Trek fan. When we checked there were already 30 odd boats with the name!

There is a Beau Nydal on the Thames at Chertsy, I thought this was clever - when it dawned on me!

Here's the place to check. Carpe Diem is the leader so far with 200 entries.

Agreed - I've seen a couple of "Aquaholics" and "Lazy Dayz"

The above in Villa Moura is called "The Muttz Nuttz" !!

Maybe not so popular, but a great name I saw on a boat in Birdham Pool " Elas Rofton ".

The 'big blue' I've seen on many boats and there is a well known mega yacht called 'Grand bleu'

Then again, "Unsinkable 2" has a certain attraction....

In a similar vein I can recall seeing a 'Betty Swallox' on the broads years ago.

There is a small Bayliner in Brixham Marina named 'Wake up', I bet the Coastguard loves hearing from him.

Last year in Morlaix I counted three Carpe Diems on the same day. Only needed four more to make a "Seize the Week" or whatever that is in Latin.!
By the way, there`s a motor cruiser in the Solent called "Thanks Mum".

Dunno how common it is but I was amused by "Far Canal"!

Hi David,

On a similar note there is a new mobo in Porthmadog called "Knot for Sail"
