That's the same reason you should never get a tattoo of a woman's name. :eek:

I have two favorites. Unfortunately, no pictures.

A guy in my old yacht club owned the "Finally IV"
Think about it.

Years ago I was cruising a canal and saw a house with doghouse in the yard over the water. The dog's name, painted on the doghouse, was Boat. Down at the dock, of course, was a boat named Dog.

Hunter 302 racine
We purchased a Hunter 30 in late 2010. I had severe buyers remorse & couldn't sleep for months so, we named the boat "Insomnia". While our boat was in winter storage in 2011, a power line fell on it and ignited a fire. It was a total loss. A year later we replaced that boat with another Hunter 30. We named this boat "First Mistake 2!"

When I finally found the boat I wanted but "hesitated" a little knowing what it costs and takes to keep a boat (like we say in the Navy - they are called "she" because it takes a lot to keep her in paint and powder) my wife said to me "buy the damn boat." Gotta love her for that by the way. We almost named our boat that but thought we'd soon tire of that name.

So we named her "Song of The Sea " I wanted to do it in Gaelic but couldn't find a good word for song in Gaelic that sounded quite right even sending off to translation sites. We have grown to like Song of The Sea and get lots of compliments on the name. Our dingy is "Sea Minor"

Saw a beautifully maintained wooden sloop with long overhangs and a small varnished mahogany transom which bore the name Fare Well. It connected with me.

My favorite is the one I chose for my boat,"Uno Mást". A couple others I considered are David Buoy, Red Hot Keely Peppers, Mast Envy, Mast Envy No Moor, & Moon Shine.

My boat name, "Sailing With Porpoise" on the MacGregor 25 and "Porpoise" on the 11' Snark.
My favorite boat name and favorite pair of names to go sailing together.
