It wouldn’t work for the OP’s question, but the coolest boat name I ever encountered was in Solomons Island, MD a few years back. It was a steel sailboat: _Effie O’Two_ FeO[sub]2[/sub] - you know - iron oxide… rust… ---

I’m at my marina right now. I was just awakened to the sound of someone pulling out of their slip. The name on the back of his boat is ‘Severence’. Funny 🙂 The boat in the slip next to mine, a Larson cruiser, is named ‘Whole Yachta Fun’. Since reading this thread last night, I took a walk along the dock to check out some of the names people have given their boats. In my marina, most boats are docked bow in, so there are not as many opportunities to see the names on the boats, which are usually stenciled on the stern. I never find boat names that refer directly to the cost of the hobby funny or interesting. For example, one boat on my dock is named ‘Sync Whole’, a play on sink hole, a reference to throwing money down the drain. Some names are not plays or words or nautical-themed. One of my dock mates, for example, named his boat ‘Bobby’s Girls’ for his wife and two daughters. If I had a dollar for every boat at my marina cluster named ‘Serenity’ I could buy breakfast. 🙂 ---
