Boat names

[cenicero]

The NERC in UK, recently decided to use the internet to allow the Great British Public to vote for the name of it's fabulous new £200m polar research vessel. Thinking the public would support names celebrating British maritime heritage and exploration, they were somewhat dismayed when the winner, by a clear margin, was 'Boaty Mc Boatface'.
As I am currently considering a name for my new venture, wondered what funny/inappropriate names folks had encountered out there.

Reading Iain Banks's Hydrogen Sonata atm, there is plenty of funny (space)ship's name in it: Beats Working, You Call This Clean, Just the Washing Instruction Chip in Life's Rich Tapestry or the Mistake not...

And so on...

Recently saw Mr. Curly in the Caribbean....captain was shaved bald.

Fish & Chicks.

Happy Hooker...on a number of sailing charter boats.

How about "Do Not Tumble Dry", or "Cool Wash Only" (yeah I'm doing laundry at the moment).

New venture, eh? "Ad Hoc"

If the new venture is a boat of some sort, keep it short and fast to give phonetically over the radio. [Knew a guy who named his boat "Bob".] The name should mean something to you, ours came from a Hagar the Horrible cartoon.

Not knowing you at all, how can we possibly come up with a name that would be a good fit?
"Rosy", if you're an optimist, maybe.

Cheers,

Ann

How about "dn ʎɐʍ sıɥʇ"

I'm hopefully closing the deal on what will become "Shameless Hussy 2" and the dink I'm gonna call "Dick Stankavage" but that's just me...

Shameless hussy 1 was such a great little girl...miss her every day! The dink was named "short bus" as it was a little avon rover...
