vote for the boats name....

[Phoenix of Hamble]

OK.... after due consideration, taking on board the wonderful suggestions of the forum for a new boat name, we have cogitated, debated, argued and plain fought over what name to place upon our new boat....

We, despite the arguments, have narrowed it down to two names..... and we have decided to throw the final decision open to the forum in the form of a vote.....

So.... the two names, and their derivation:

Ellony - a contraction of mine and SWMBOs middle names

Kolika - Hawaiian word meaning "from the Ocean"

Make your mark....

I love the name Kolika! Been enjoying your blog for the past year or so and really pleased to hear you've found yourself the next 'maggie'

 

[Bajansailor]

The poor Bendytoe will either have colic, or be a felon.......
If must be tho', I would go for Kolika.

 

[B175Chris]

Nah I voted for Ellony, sounds quite graceful... plus easier to say over VHF...? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[tome]

Oooh, I went for Kolika for the same reasons though might be biased cos I had a boat called Kotka

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Thanks!

Now just got to work out how to agree on a name without ending up in A&E... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I see that "Kolika" owners have tendency to experimental DIY.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Looks fairly clear which way the general opinion is going on this one... will leave it a bit longer for latecomers, and then go with the decision... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

OK.... Kolika it is..... (pronounced with the emphasis on the Ko.... eg Ko-leeka

As soon as the survey is done, and accepted then i'd better start the process!

 

[donm]

Ah, but if only I had known that it was pronounced THAT way I may well have voted differently....................any chance of a re-run?

 

[Twister_Ken]

Felony and Colonlicker. Nope.

Sounds susoiciously like some local dialect including the word Guapa.

Is Guapa and Kolika the new Orwell Donner Und Blitzen?

Great choice;what about extending the name to Kolika Cola and getting some sponsorship? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[weaver_fish]

Why not call it, erm, Magna Carta ?

 

[FullCircle]

With a boat Kolika, will the tender be called Calpol? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[michael_w]

Neither /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
