No, but I have seen a sail yacht with the little boat on the back
that were named "Not Paid IV" and "Paid IV"

I'm not too much for the punny boat names.

One of the best I saw was on an 80+ sized boat...

Heh. Well, I LOVE punny names...or at least hearing about them. But I
think a prime consideration has to be *not* "is it funny?" but "is it
confusing to the Coast Guard when you are trying to ID your sinking
vessel?"

Perhaps a spoilsport opinion, but if it takes three attempts to
understand "SV Why Knot", I would suggest that "dangerous" has trumped
"cute".

One of my husband's normal exclamations is "OK Whatever" (When he
retired, they gave him an "OK Whatever" plaque) We considered naming
the boat that, but I thought about calling the CG- CG asks, What is
the name of your vessel - A. OK Whatever. CG What is the nature of
your distress OK Whatever? etc.

I also thought about spelling out OK in words, but the word for K is
Kilo, and I thought that might lead to unfortunate conclusions.

However, I don't mind the puny names so much as those names with a
whole lot of vowels in them. We've met people on a boat named for the
blue crab and the name means beautiful swimmer or something like that,
and when they check in on the SSB with Herb, they call themselves
something that is easier to understand. I know of a Mainship with a
name like that in beautiful script on the stern, but they have a
dinghy over it name and say that no one can ever understand their name
so they call themselves "Mainship" on the radio as if that was the
boat's name.

We met some folks on a boat named ARCTURUS, which is a star, but he
said folks have a lot of trouble with the name on the radio. It must
get tiring to have to explain your boat's name all the time.
