I was taking a short cut through some woods in Brisbane and heading for a gate at a housing estate named after planets. I got lost and was going to ask a hiker for directions, but couldn't phrase the question.It seems to me an awful, sad truth that so many yachts cast light on their owners' weak humour or failure of foresight - so a joke that was barely funny decades earlier, is deemed adequate to brand a vessel for its lifetime.
I can laugh if a name evokes mischievous misinterpretation though. Can this one be real? It's too good...

Some years ago there was a 'fashion' among groups of medical types who would charter several Sunsail boats 'down Solentish way' to rename temporarily - in defiance of the Radio License regs - their boats using medical terms.
Hence "Colostomy Bag, Colostomy Bag - this is Prosthesis, Prosthesis. Receiving? Over."

We had a boat with us for a while called Ginger Lee.
A name that accurately fulfills both requirements of the OP. (or so I've been led to believe?)

I haven’t looked at the regulations and wasn’t aware that medical terms were not allowed. That is a pity because many of them are pleasingly euphonious, if in appropriate. I once denied myself Scarlet Fever for a red boat on grounds of taste. How about
Malaria
Herpes
Angina
Syphilis
It looks as if I will have to satisfy myself with Scurvy Knave, though I expect that is already in use.

My heart surgery was to cure regurgitation; I suppose there is a boating reference right there...

I seem to recall a racing yacht called Snatch, owned by a gynecologist.

Barry Norman could be a bit naughty on TV. He was reviewing a film which included a character who was a "snatch photographer". He said he had not realised that there was such a specialism...

Looking for the container ship that was briefly broken down in Southampton water, I accidentally strayed across to Hanble Point Marina. The types (a) who keep boats there and (b) keep AIS 24x365 in harbour seem to have a propensity for “stripper” names - out of 5 AIS on, two were
