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

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.

Now, that tells you something, as Arcturus, being one of the better
celestial navigational stars, would have been as familiar as "Polaris"
twenty years ago.

Anyway, your point about a lot of vowels is interesting. Under less
than ideal transmitting conditions, more vowels would equal less
meaning conveyed to a distant station. I wonder how the French,
Spanish and Italian Coast Guards handle the inherent "ah-ee-oo" sounds
on their radio communications at sea? I would guess they have to do a
lot more spelling out than people speaking Germanic languages.

I regularly intercept pretty weak 'n' crunchy TX from distant stations
while sailing, and I can usually follow the plot just from the way the
consonants are flowing.

There is a boat named "whatever" in my marina. When the wife found out the
name they originally picked out had been used, her husband told her on the
phone to name it whatever. She did.

Another funny one around here is "excuse me". Racing sailboat... funny to
hail him though. "Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me... this is Anastasia III".
Somebody invariably asks... "so what do you want?" hehehe!

As an Electrical Engineer, I always wanted to name a boat CMOS
(pronounced Sea Moss) for Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, a
popular semiconductor technology. Most would agree, it is a bit too
obscure and would likely never get pronounced correctly -- save for the
occasional electronics enthusiast.

Oh my this *is* clever. Why do you then not name your boat "Sea
Moss" but superimpose that name over the letters "C M O S" on
the stern of the boat, or intertwine the letters C, M, O, & S
into the full name. With the help of a talented graphic artist,
you could arrive at a pleasing graphic to place on the boat.

Or just C MOSs which would be pronounceable although most people
probably still wouldn't get it. Using single letters KT for Katy is
fairly common (especially on license plates) and it isn't that hard a
concept. (that would be the Complimentary Metal Oxide SemiconductorS
- plural)

Where it is important that it be spelled CMOSs instead of Sea Moss
(which I don't think it would make much difference on the radio for
instance - so what if the bridge tender or marina person gets it
spelled wrong) you could spell it phonetically pretty easily. Most of
the time someone who's made that mistake will be too embarrassed to
say anything IME.

There are some regs that prohibit names that sound too much like commonly used

that might result if you were hailing a vessel called "Pay day?" :-)

I've seen boats named that... but the above post made me think it would be funny
to name a boat "Repeat Your Last"

"Repeat Your Last, Repeat Your Last, Repeat Your Last, this is Vessel Calling."

"we copy, vessel calling Repeat Your Last, go ahead."

"No, I mean this is the vessel Vessel Calling."

"Repeat your last"

And so on. Not quite as good on "Who's on First" but it keep a few people
harmlessly amused.
