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!

I've always wanted to name my boat
"station calling" or "vessel calling"

There are some regs that prohibit names that sound too much like commonly used
radio calls. Can you imagine the confusion
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.

Best one I ever saw was: Paid 4
Sparky

Growing old is compulsary.
Growing up is optional.

I was going over my notes from the trip down this year and I saw a
sailboat named L'AIR in Bucksport (SC)
