New Name for a Boat
 

Hi there,

Anyone have some good idea's for a great name for our new boat. Last one was "Wasn't Me!".

I have no idea figure all you imaginative people will come up with some great ones.

.

Was To

Was 2

Was Two

I named mine "Faster Daddy" because that's what my little boy was always yelling at me.

One of my favorites is "Instead of Disney"

Need more info to help you
 

For just any idea, I'll give it a shot. "Dad's Pride and Toy" or just "Pride and Toy"

But for a more personal name, maybe some details?

1) Manufacturer/model of boat so we know sail/power/GFB?
2) Family? ("My Other Love")
3) prefer real names or puns? or simply play-on-words?
4)initials from family names sometimes make a fun name for a boat, too

or even mis-leading names? "The lawn mower" or for a GFB, "The Mower" or "The Mover"

How about "La Vida Broca" ? If you weren't broke before you got the boat, you soon will be. Ahhhhh, the joys of boat ownership. :D

Names for a new boat....
 

"Just another payment"
"My Second Home"

Google it
 

If you search on google for boat names you will be innundated. Island Guy chose Scene Isle ... though it is not on the boat yet. My daughter is having it made for me.

Those are great
 

Those are great! Thanks!!

Well, the last one was "Wasn't Me!" as I said. There was a definite reason for the name..... kind of a funny incident when the boat was only 6-7 weeks old!

That, however, was when I was single. As I told everyone quite a while ago we are getting married in Meredith in September. We bought a house so didn't need a cruiser anymore.

I thought it was funny to name it "It Shrank", when everyone was asking what happen to my other boat..... I said it was too hot out.... "it shrank".

However, when I thought of my poor fiance's friends and the grief he might get, I re thought that one.

Then came up with "Wasn't Us!". Not sure if he is keen on that.

I really like a play on words or something sarcastic and witty. First boat was "Not So Much".

I am an ex-professional figure skater, Mortgage Banker, two kids (boy 11, girl 13).... hmmmmm what else.... a bit hyper active and very social. (quick witted... :D )

New boat is a Sea Ray..... Fiance owns a Tile distributorship in MA and NH (I liked "Tile Guy" ... he didn't)

That is about it..... really not that remarkable of a family really! :laugh:

HOW is that for info?

I like it!
 

I like it!

Name the Boat
 

Wendy:

Just a thought but I like to see boats named after the boat, not the owner.

Names that show your, can I say, love for the boat seem to bring you joy every time you think about the her.

Names like Shadow, Sunset, Serendipity and yes, Misty Blue (I'm named after the boat - not the other way around) to me show respect for the boat.

Names like Bad Attitude, Corprate Merger and New Promotion, etc. give me the feeling that the owners are not nameing the boat but selling themselves.

There have been some great ideas on this post. I guess that I wanted to give you some food for thought. Just my two cents.

Misty Blue.

Here's to your new boat and new home:


"A-Bay C-Ray"
Congrats on the new home, the upcoming marriage, and the new boat.

Dave

Thank You
 

Thank you.... you are very cleaver... I like that one. :D

Name it
 

First, congrats on the marriage, home, and boat. And "All At Once".

Or new boat, new home, new marraige, "New Life".

wow
 

YOU guys are GOOD..... wow. See, I am so unimaginative. The All At Once SOOOO fits.

Thank you
 

thank you for all the ideas and the congratutions!!

I really do appreciate it. :D

I'm drawing a blank
 

Hmmm, not having any really good ideas so I throw these ones out hoping they'll spark some better ones.

If it was only for you, it could be "It Figures" or "Wendi Figures" (ex-skater, banker motif) or "WinniWendisWish" but given you've gone from cruiser to deckboat while gaining a new family it should be more like "All Hands on Deck". I think I'll need some "lubricant" to ponder this some more. Hmmm, what's hubby's first name ? Do you have a dog ? Could it be "See Ray Run" ?
Aaargh, definitely time for the Tamnavulin !

Wasn't me???
 

Out of curiosity was the "Wasn't Me" a Fountain? I noticed in your previous post that you mentioned a cruiser but after looking at a Fountain this weekend with the same name for sale at the lake I could not help but wonder...If so let me know, I liked it!

Nope
 

I wish I could afford one, however, I spend all my pitins on my chitins. (my kids keep me broke!!!

No the cruiser I had.... that I loved is in Irwin's show room. Great boat though.

Just got our new one.... we decided to name her "No Life Crisis" LOL!

Woodsy

Liked the name on this boat
 

Liked the name on this boat

My boat is 'Crazy Horse' after my fondness for Neil Young's music/band.

You bought the boat before you are a family of four... however you knew that you would soon be (a family of) four so how about ' BE FOUR '?

I married a woman with two kids too. Best thing that I ever did...congrats.

Being a musician all of my boats have been named after something musical. If I were marrying someone named Wendy that would be the name on my boat. 'Wendy' is a (terrific) Beach Boys classic and when I think of the Beach Boys I think of good times in warm weather...so that works.

Hey Woodsy what'd you buy? Going to Green's Basin?

Hey Wendy... Art is on to something... how about calling the boat "Four Play"? I think that would be an awesome name! The boat is for (4) people and it is "FOR PLAY"...

Hola ART! I just got a Donzi 26Zx.... almost a twin to LisaZ's boat, only 70hrs on her. Not the fastest boat, but really nice! Didn't want to go the top end route in case we get a speed limit. Picked it up in Virginia last weekend... Let me know when you will be around and I will swing by... I will definitely be going to the Basin! You? Give my best to the family!

Woodsy

PS: For those who may be concerned, it is below the current noise limit and is muffled.

I did the family name thing too: "Three Buoys" for our three sons. But after buying and naming the boat, we adopted a girl, so the boys are clamoring for a name change to "Three Buoys and a Gull". So far, I'm sticking with the superstition that it is bad luck to change the name of a boat! That'll work until the girl is old enough to figure out she's not part of the name, I'm sure.

Congrats Woodsy!!!
 

Congrats!!! Great to hear about the new boat. Great feeling isnt it.

Well, you are right.... there are a ton of great names and ideas so far.

Thanks to all. I haven't picked anything yet..... however, I will probably put it off until we get back from the honeymoon. I will let you know asap though.

Keep the great idea's coming.

" Winni Fiends and Spirit " :)

Love,
T.
