Re: Can't Commit to Name . . .

Just remember that what ever you name her, you may be saying over the radio as you enter a foreign country or are looking desperately for help. Suddenly "cute" names likes "Son's Tuition" or "Bonnie's Diamond" sound a little silly...

Read this boat naming article awhile ago and thought it was pretty good:
