What's in a Name

My boat regrettably needs a name.

Naming boats, especially dinghies, always annoys me. I can't imagine any Olympic boats are named. And when results are announced the glory should go to the skipper and crew, but the boat name is irrelevant.

Some might say that a boats name is like a team name, but a team is an group of people, not the bus that drives them to a gig. Nobody says gets excited to see David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel,
Derek Smalls and Jeffery Vanston of Spinal Tap and Pricilla, their tour bus - unless you are a groupie.

Back to the name for this boat, while I and I were building this boat we started a list of names on the jig. I have shortlisted this to 5 and they are in the pole on the right. Please vote if you care. The ones that didn't make the cut (f0r obvious reasons) are listed in the comments.

Short List:
  • w00t r0cket
  • Perverted moth
  • S.L.I.N.O. (Stress Less in Name Only)
  • Hell raz0r
  • mushroom mushroom

  3. I agree with n4rkla, it should be called Boner Pirate. I'm sure an appropriate stencil could be made.
