I'd always call her by a female (human) or other name, preferably 2-3 syllables, but then I am assuming this is a serious question. e.g. "Patricia", "Louise" or even "Kylie" if you prefer something more modern.
Don't forget to apply the "Mayday Embarrassment" test, as described by a Confessional article years ago from someone in a boat called "Jeopardy" i.e. Mayday, Mayday... I am in "Jeopardy" (he was locked in the heads while berthed in a marina)... this test especially applies to double-entendre names!

Probably pays to be a bit more circumspect really when re entering UK waters!

The Bavaria 34 is quite beamy, so how about "Wide Buoy" - seems suitable to me!

Surely if he were locked in the khazi, he should have made a Pan-Pan call?

Dear madam.

I think your name is fine as it it is.

But if you really want to change it, howzabout Glasgae Kiss?

I always apply the VHF test to a name?

How easy is it to spell out How long does it take to get the name across and does it sound daft to the CG.

I'm sure the CG VHF operators ask those people with long boat names to spell them out just to see how long it takes.

Keep it short has always been my theory!

I once heard a boat called "Test" calling the CG you should have heard the confusion and whats more the boat owner wouldn't give up trying to explain<s>

I remember once having a work computer password of "guess" and it was a wee bit amusing when IT department asked for my password!

How about "Smine".. how often have you been working on deck , someone comes past and starts talking about sailing and eventually says "thets smine" over there.
Pointing to their Yacht....

Re: Anagrams

Well done Hump. I only just spotted it and that was with the aid of a spellchecker. So the obvious suggestion for a new name is of course ANAGRAM . Or perhaps carrying on with the theme ALYSUM

\"The Troll\"?

Nice try Madman, but you'll need to do better than that to get a decent score on this forum.
