Mentioned here before - my mates fishing boat in Morar is named 'Fochinell'. Sounds great when getting radio calls on 16.

I agree about Carpe-bloody-Diems. I've always fancied some of the warship names; what about "Indefatigable"?

Iain M Banks does it well in his sci-fi books http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ships_(The_Culture)
I think he's just taking the pi55 out of of mobos...

I was reminiscing about the season recently with friends, and we agreed one of the funniest moments (if you’re allowed to laugh about a mayday) was when we were cruising in company and heard “Mayday mayday mayday, Mid Life Crisis, Mid Life Crisis, Mid Life Crisis”. Hard to take seriously!
A chum from the other boat chipped in with – can you imagine what would the response would be if we sent out a mayday - boat name “Only for Fun”.
SWMBO and I decided last night that “Cotton Traders” would be a good name for our next boat – think of the variety of logo’d clothing we could get cheaply.

A boat thats aground on saigon river is called "Hardship"
Loads of Lazy Days on the Thames I was told I would have to call mine Lazy Days 10 when I registered, not a fitting title for a 1930s Dunkirker. So hung a sign with 10 to flap around in the wind, the first lock keeper asked what it was for, when told his reply about those in office is not printable here.
When calling up to enter Yarmouth, the HM came back with "Lazy Days your already in" I assured him I wasn't and was allowed in only to moor beside a tupperware jobbie called Lazy Days, the owner came across with a handfull of beers as he had heard the VHF conversation.

If I were forced to buy a mobo for any reason, it would be Duntakkin
