There might be too many boats named "Whisper" but I really like it.
Good luck.

The Enola Gay
One more vote for kokomo, GREAT song...
Some time ago I had a fantasy about naming my future
boat
"The Enola Gay" and I think that that's a good name... specially if you have a big boat

I would use the Vigors Interdenominational Denaming/naming ceremony even if you think its BS. I renamed "Gypsy", was "Blew By You" and it had to be changed fast. Well within a month I had to replace the
engine
and then replace the
head
gasket
on the brand new
engine
plus many other problems that probably would have happened anyway. But seven grand latter and a few months worth of
work
I went through the ceremony and two decent bottles of bubbly(one for the
boat
one for me). The problems are gone and I get to actually do some sailing.
Just do it.

You'd almost be obligated to name your
tender
"Little Boy".
Great conversation starter, that.

I still like Kokomo, but Voodoo Child would be a close second..
