Is "Seven Seas" a corny sailboat name?

[El Pinguino]

Despite the comments above I don't find the name corny at all, maybe not very original but not corny.
One thing to do is check that any name you choose doesn't have a bad history afloat, I would never name a boat 'Wahine' for instance.

'Unsinkable II' always makes me smile...

Some names I would avoid:
Hurricane
Storm
Gale
Cyclone
Typhoon
Tsunami
Bermuda Triangle
The other woman

Count me as a fan of "End of the Road" given your Key West location - It's like you found the end of the road, so you bought a sailboat and just kept right on going... (future Buffet lyric?)

Btw, around here "7 Dees" is a large nursery... Too close to 7 Seas for my liking

Exactly....that's one true way that end of the road is personal to me.
Seven Seas is a term broadly used for more than just bodies of seas. I can't remember where I saw it on the web but Seven Seas has been seen throughout history for many symbolic uses, it's actually very interesting.
There's alot of interesting comments here and I appreciate them very much.
Someone in this thread made a remark that I shouldn't care what others think of a boat name that I choose but that wasn't my intention for asking. The fact that I have owned the boat for over 3 years simply means I'm stumped for a name.
I do like the powerfull British attitudes for naming boats.
Of the 3 names mentioned I'm leaning towards Meriwether. Although I like the other 2 names almost as equal. I grew up on Lewis and Clark and really admire what they accomplished.
Unless my wife will agree to me naming my boat "Shakira".

A boat is also traditionally called a "she," so since you like the saga of Lewis and Clark, how about the name of a Native American princess who saved them and guided them to distant shores (like your boat will too)?

Sacagawea!

OK, so Seven S3eas actually refers to the major oceans, not seas at all...so if you google this you'll find there are LOTS more seas...in my Southern/Indo/Pacific region about 54 Seas .... or ....

Hmm, that's almost a boat name in its own.
