Boat Names...

[FxdGrMind]

Ok, I was reading another thread on "pattent" infringement... something I deal with daily. It got me to thinking.... what name would you choose for your boat... or did you choose for your boat?

Then Why? was it just cool at the time. an event in your history. family heirloom/ custom... like Billy Bob Winkerstein III or something like that.

Finally what did you choose or what have you decided to name your future boat.....

Then are there any regulations on naming? Coastguard etc? Does it have to be in the language of boat registration?

I have a last name that as I trace it back to the orrigins, creates an appropriate name... well I think so anyway, but no one would be able to pronounce it here stateside... It only means something to me and my imediate family. The rest of the family don't have the same name due to my father being the only son and none of them speak the native language that the name is from so they wouldn't know the meaning.

Would it still be an appropriate boat name?

Cheers
