Newsgroup poll #2
8 years ago I asked the rec.boats newsgroup to help name my retail store
outlet and I picked "Buoys & Toys" which I thought was a pretty cool play on words at the time. In reality most people don't get it or don't know what we actually sell (some even think it's a gay Adult Novelty store lol) I am once again turning to my friends (old and new) in this newsgroup to help me rename the store to something that is unique and descriptive, that also reflects the stock change from strictly marine to marine supplies, Liquor, beer, and convenience items (milk, bread butter etc) Let's have some fun with this and see if we can't pull a rabbit out of a hat in the process. Any names you've seen at other marinas you thought worked well too? If I don't get something catchy soon, I'm gonna have to go with "General Store" as a cop out this time around. I'll save someone the first easy one - I'm not naming it Booze n Boats. :-) The floor is yours.... -- Regards, Dave Brown Brown's Marina Ltd http://brownsmarina.com/ |

I'll save someone the first easy one - I'm not naming it Booze n Boats. :-) The floor is yours.... You trusted a group of anonymous internet bozos to name your store last time, and they came up with "buoys and toys", and now you're asking the same group of bozos again?? Good luck :-) |

In other words, no need to include 'boats' in the description. The name is for the store only and the "Brown's Marina" part will be listed on the sign above the name I eventually choose. Here's a more detailed list of items being sold: Pop, mixes (clamato, OJ etc), chips, chocolate bars, cigars, cigarettes Milk, bread, eggs, bacon, etc Fishing tackle & worms Marine supplies (life jackets, fenders, ropes, safety equipment etc) Liquor, wine, beer T-shirts/souvenirs Water toys (skis, inflated towables, wakeboards, kneeboards etc) Many thanks to those who have contributed already, I hope this new list helps the focus a bit.

Any names you've seen at other marinas you thought worked well too? If I don't get something catchy soon, I'm gonna have to go with "General Store" as a cop out this time around. I'll save someone the first easy one - I'm not naming it Booze n Boats. :-) The floor is yours.... How 'bout......... The Oarhouse? Hopefully that would end the confusion regarding any "gay Adult Novelty." Unless it was a gay oarhouse. Was a nudie club (lady nudies) in San Jose, CA years ago.

We have a separate marina building on the water for service, and a separate sales location on the highway 7 miles away for boat/motor sales. In other words, no need to include 'boats' in the description. The name is for the store only and the "Brown's Marina" part will be listed on the sign above the name I eventually choose. I offer you this -- a quote from one of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels (The Thirteen Gun Salute p27 of the pb): [T]he land's main function [is] to provide marine stores -- it [is] not a place for real existence. [Patrick O'Brian] Thus, a simple "Marine Store", while not particularly funny, might be just what you are looking for. BTW, welcome back. --Pete Peter W.
