I am not certain this is true, but I recall reading somewhere that the
Russian custom is masculine names.

Perhaps someone else can confirm this.

Hi!

Why are boat names most of times feminine or general but hardly ever
they have a masculin name?

I dunno, but maybe with enough Vodka and snowed in for the winter in
some isolated cabin in the most remote reaches of Siberia guys start
looking good......Naw, personally can't even imagine it. :-) I don't
know much about the Russian language, maybe "boat" is a masculine noun
in Russian- but I didn't think their nouns were gender specific.

Not so difficult to understand. Have you ever seen a Russian woman?

Nothin' wrong with a good 'tractor woman' when there's work to be done
in the fields.
