New Name for Boat

[studgies]

Right, delivery of the new toy has been delayed for a few weeks but we have now decided the name def' has to change, it is currently Solstice which is a little dull.

I need suggestions please I keep coming up with names which Jim thinks are stupid (eg. Bob, Rubber Duckie etc).

I did have one name I like which is Marvin 42 or Marvin XLII. Jim is yet to be convinced so I either need ways to convince him it is a good name or other ideas for names. The boat is a Sealine 330.

A few pointers would be handy as so much choice. Seen lot's of boats in last month with names ranging from Mirabella to Fish Guts.

Marvin 42

Trouble is; I'd always think of the phrase "I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed......" tho' perhaps this is appropriate in the context of mooring fees and maintenance costs.

In the same vein, however, how about "Gargleblast"? Combines water, speed and alcohol, in roughly equal proportions.

What's the origin of Marv42 ?

 

[studgies]

ok not allowed to be any reference to cost of boating, nothing too soppy, light hearted/witty or just a little silly would be ideal.

 

[studgies]

Gargleblast is good! Hmm, think I would find it even harder to convince Jim on that opne though, but it does follow the trend of being alchohol related as current boat is Bacchus.

 

[studgies]

Marvin as in the paranoid android and 42 is the question. Sorry sad Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference.

Can't have Jamesie as that is what we call my dad when we wanna wind him up!
