I might consider the practicality of joining the 100 or so boats on the west coast called 'Rona' or even Nth. Rona to fill the space?

So long as it does not oblige me to go there?

Or keep the name, as you will get plenty of space round you on pontoons, and nobody trying to raft up alongside!

Why piss about with half measures? Just change the name entirely, either remove the current vinyl letters or paint it out and start again from fresh, you can call it whatever you want. Call it after the dog? Or call it Quandry 2

Peter Ustinov gave his Father a puppy. His Father Called it 'Colonel'.

Ustinov said his father would call the dog, a front door would open and a dapper ex military type would answer " Yes? "

After the dog bit was explained, Ustinov's Father got lots of invites " Come and have a drink, old chap "

I dont suppose he let on that as Von Ustinov he was decorated by the Kaiser with an Iron Cross during WW1!

All the same, a nice story.

I am just glad that my boat, Chlamydia, has such a pretty name and does not need it changing.

I remember having a good laugh with friends in Hong Kong thirty years ago at a small cruise ship named “Pearl of the Orient”...

... Vietnam War era term for gonhorrea.

May as well trot this one out again. It was genuine (the Titan fleet were named after planets) but after a few days someone told them and she became “Titan Taurus”:
