Default Boat Name Changing

Bad JuJu, dude.

I know this is probably a little silly, but . . .

I'm considering buying a boat that I otherwise like, except the name, which
I don't. I believe there is an old nautical superstition that it's bad luck
to change a boat (or ship) name. I'm wondering how commonly this is done,
and does anyone have any thoughts on this?
