Need a new boat name?
 
Looking for feedback on the new random boat name generator on
firstboat.com.

Just increased the possible number of randomly generated boat names to
over 34,000. Let me know if you go through all possibilities and think
of any obvious names I missed:

http://www.firstboat.com/boat_names.html

I know sometimes a name comes up that doesn't make sense from time to
time, such as "Fun Fun", but the next result might be "For Sail" or
"Outta Debt" or something more applicable.

Also, Please send pictures of your boatnames, and the stories behind
them, to the email address on the page.

Disregard the ads on the page if you want - I'm seriously in this group
looking for feedback.

Thanks

Gene,
Thanks for the feedback. While it admittedly provides some "junk", I'm
often surprised to see some of the good names that come up when I'm
clicking on the page, even though I hand picked the two lists that it
draws from.
For example, I just clicked a few times and came up with:

Reel Mystery,
In Sails,
Sea Gals

These names might spark somebody's imagination while having trouble
coming up with a boat name on their own, but I, too, would like to see
less junky results like "Tuna Barnacle".

Thanks again for the feedback.

good one, Dan. I actually considered adding "BrokeBack" to the list for
the first word selection, but thought some of the outcomes might be
offensive to some.

You can never please everyone. I would do it. Most people have a sense of
humor, the ones that don't - well you just dont need to deal with them.

There's nobody here but men, men, men, men ...
I think that's from a monty python tune (I'm certain it's something that was
played on the Dr. Demento Show).

Not from Python. Oddly enough from a 1977 Martin Mull album, "I'm Everyone
I Ever Loved". Most People don't know it, but Martin has a considerable
musical talent, and is a very accomplished painter as well. Mull's albums
mix music and comedy in a style that is all his own. The music is all
original. The 1978 album "Sex and Violins" is a beautifully composed and
fully orchestrated album of catchy songs with bizarre lyrics. Any of his
recorded material is worth a listen if you like to hear music mixed with
bone-dry comedy. Good stuff.

I'll check it out. I just tried Napster, but they don't have sex and
violins. Now for ITunes.

I'm definitely trying to make money from the site (boat vinyl
lettering, google ads, etc.) by luring (pun unrealized until typed)
people with the free boat name machine.
But not in this forum - I am honestly looking for feedback from boat
owners, and not trying to spam a user-group.
Thanks

This is pretty obscure stuff, and nearly 30 years old. I would imagine
it will be difficult to find, but worth the pursuit.
