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.
