I was looking around for some New England Native American tribes. The Abenaki were in most of NH. (according to my 2 mins of research)

Wampanoag from Massachusetts translations. (Where I grew up)

Sun (Soleil) Cone
Moon (Lune) Appause
Water (Eau) Nippe
White (Blanc) Wompey

I always thought Winni's water was really white and clean in a boat's wake or prop wash. I thought "Wompey Nippe" was kind of catchy. Here's a link to some translated words but the variety is somewhat limited. Maybe you can make something out of them.

Congrats on the sharp boat, btw!

Edit: I missed your post where you picked "Reliance". That's a good one!
