Unique and Sophisticated Names for Your Boat

You have a new boat, a dream come true. It seems unbefitting such a vessel to have placed upon its stern some mash up of you and your wife’s names. Even worse, you cannot bear to give it any of the trite, pun filled, puerile and unimaginative monikers you have discovered thus far.

Face it, you have complex sensibilities. Common men name their boats “Jimmy’s Joy,” “Seaduction,” “Nauti Bouy,” or “Steady As She Goes.” What do you want emblazoned on the escutcheon of your quarter of a million dollar sloop? You already know it won’t be “Dock Holiday” or “Unsinkable III.”

You are articulate and maybe a Scrabble freak. You are reaching for something that is, as yet – undefined. Like naming children, it’s important. Boats and kids live up to the names we give them. Boating is an existential quest, defining you, the boat and your relationship with the sea.

You need something that, like you, is refined and enigmatic. The boat’s name must capture some undiscovered salient, embracing your thoughts, words and deeds that spring forth from your heart, mind and soul.

Lucky for you, the richness of language provides erudite and metaphorical terms which describe your state. Those spotting your stern with binoculars might well suspect that you have both a command of language as well as the sea. Yes, names such as these are conversation starters. They are archaic, obtuse, sometimes foreign and a few - snobbish.

Type them into Google Speak to pronounce them for you. Try them on. They will roll off your tongue soon enough.

See you out on the big water.
