Egads - boat name angst!
 
We are in the process of selecting a name for the new toy. The problem is
that while we have some names that we like, none really calls out to use. I
hope that the creative brains of rec.boats can help.

Some of our name candidates are based on the fact the my wife and I both
write for a living. So we have:

Write On
Write Stuff
All She Wrote

Then there's the fact that we are both amateur musicians:

Sea Sharp
Bass Clef
G String

Then there are some more general names:

Knot Working
Knot at Work
ReeLaxed
Tarpon Dreams
Fishin' Fool

And finally a couple of plays on my wife's name (Maxine):

Miss Max
Lady Max
Mad Max

I must say that this is a very pleasant dilemma to be in, but it is a
dilemma none the less!

Thanks,

Peter Aitken

cant make a cal here but take in mind that when u use your radio you
will repeat that name 3 times many many times, so make sure it is easy
to say and doesnt sound stupid

What do you write? There may be some novel possibilities there as well.

When I was a yacht broker, one of my clients was a woman who owned and
published a newspaper in a small town. She came up with a dandy name
for her boat, "Miss Print".

I'd consider discretion and call it "Just MAX".

Name it after your first girlfriend and be done with it. Tell the wife she
needs to work harder to make you forget the first girlfriend. Let us know
how that goes. :-)

Or considering the drain on the wallet this hobby causes,

Sea Diminished


Given the financial implications of boat ownership I had considered Bye Bye
George but the wife nixed that one.
