Default Looking for some odd or funny boat names...

I am looking for a new name for my V20.
I have in mind "Largo de Onda" ( Wavelenght in spanish ), or perhaps "Carmen-Gilina" ( my two granies ) or "Cuchuca" ( the nickname of my Mother ).
But I have seen some funny or very odd names like;
"SHE TOOK MY MONEY AND RAN"
What is the name of your ship ?

Mine is named Nipper. My father worked for years in advertising for RCA. Their logo was a dog listening to his master's voice coming from a phonograph (record player). The dog's name was Nipper. So, Dad named his boat Nipper for the RCA dog, and because I think he liked to take a little nip (of scotch, gin, whatever) every now and then. I inherited the boat from him after he passed away, and it will always be named Nipper, with the same home port (Scituate, Massachusetts) listed, even though the boat is now in Indianapolis, Indiana.

it's bad luck to change names on a boat, unless you make a plaque and mount on the dash beside the helm with the original name.

mine are

250 Wellcraft = Reel Fun II

V20 = Skool's Out

22' Deck Boat = Flat Liner

19' Sea Ox = Re-Berth

250 Sea Ray = Family Affair

The guys last name who owned my boat prior to me (I just pruchased) last name was Teabout and he named the boat TeaBoat. He even admitted it was a dumb name but after this past tax day it almost now makes sense. No I'm not keeping the name.
