Silly Question
 

Silly Question
 

I named my strip-built touring kayak the "Haqjauk" ( inuit for "arrow")
after the arrow pattern in the strips that form the deck. My
strip-built canoe is the "Five Bucks" because of the kingfisher on the
bow ( the Canadian 5 dollar bill used to have a kingfisher on the back
until they changed it recently). My plastic canoe is "Scar Face"
because of a large scar along the side, a reminder of a small mishap in
a parking lot just before a run....

Ask a silly question, I have the silly answers.... :o)

Okay, this is a silly question, but has anybody here ever "named" a
kayak before? I think it is fun to give certain things a name, like
cars and boats and stuff. My kayak doesn't yet have a name as I have
never thought of something good enough for it, but I'm thinking of
it.... Hehe.

(And I think I'm gonna have to start calling my SUV "MooCar" 'cause I
put cow-spotted foam [which I got at the craft store] around the roof
rack rails to keep my kayak from slipping when it is on them! It's a
pretty funny sight! My kayak is not cow-spotted, however, so I cannot
call it "MooYak".)

No. When I first got into kayaking, I posed this questions and was told
(and I agree with!) that since a kayak is like a part of your body,
unless you are in the habit of naming parts of your body (some people
are, but I don't do that either!), that it's completely inappropriate to
name your kayak.

Do you name your clothes? Your shoes? Etc.? Then why name your kayak?

You're a GUY and you don't name parts of your body??

Wow, me and old Sasquatch are laughing at that one.

Myron, that was FUNNY (with or without the -- ahem -- footnote)! A
bit too subtle for our boy, evidently, but WTH; *I* got it!

OK, OK; computer programming for scientific research also matters.
