Nice... "...ette" implies female... might be redundant but I still think it sounds nice.
What's your favorite boat name?

I like it...
Vitae is is in the genitive case and so = of (your) life... Water of you life would be a nice boat name...
I've been toying with... currus maritimus (chariot of the sea or maritime chariot)... I was going to name my boat T-Don after a recently deceased uncle but... with the election and all I'm having second thoughts...I don't want to possibly be denied assistance due to the name on my boat...
.... Hillary is also off my listI was teasing Stu about his comment earlier about our boat 's "Compass Rose" name. I think my wife named it so because in our military career we traveled to many parts of the world.......thus, Compass Rose. Chief
And when the CG asks you to spell it, for the hundredth time, it won't sound so nice. At least with my boat's name, they don't ask me to spell it, but I'm sure they get the spelling wrong all the time.
They usually leave the 'e' at the end out, thinking it IS a Danish liqueur. Chief is a man with a great sense of humor.
And a nice boat with nice graphics, too.
The Admiral and I are struggling with what to rename our boat. Many of our ideas have incorporated, either explicitly or indirectly, the manufacturer (Island, Freedom, Wind, etc. Hunter; or Diana, Artemis, etc.). Too plain, in most cases.
So a while back, a really dear and long time friend responded to my email advising him we had bought a boat. I read the email, couldn't understand it, reread it, and gave up. Three days later, I had to laugh when I FINALLY got it, and I couldn't understand what took me so long. His suggestion: name her Holly.
It's still a (remote) possibility.
Yeah, the name almost certainly no longer conjures images of wind driven snow and the world's highest mountain.
Yes, I do like Rosie or Rose Bud for the dinghy but the reason I am hesitant is so many people already don't know what a Compass Rose is and those dinghy names may make it seem Compass is a type of garden rose. Maybe, Chief
My favorite names are the totally original ones the owners came up with all by themselves. Like my dockmates named Wright who named their boat JUS' WRIGHT....the Walkers who owned two dogs who loved to ride their dinghy, which they named DOGGY WALKER... the Ebbs' who named their boat EBBTIDE... two French horn players in the NY Symphony who named their boat TOOT SWEET...
But my all time favorite was a friend's dockmate who'd pestered his wife--whose name was Ruth, btw--for years that he wanted a boat, but she wanted nothing to do with the idea. Finally she gave in...ok, he could buy a boat, but only on one condition: that she'd never have to set foot on it. He agreed and bought the boat...and she never has set foot on it. The boat's name: RUTHLESS.

I'm so excited to see this thread revisited. I've still not renamed our '78 Hunter after this, our first season. With the current state of our nation and the relative uncertainties following November 8th, I'm seriously considering naming the Dinghy "Apocalyptic" and the Hunter named "Avoy-Dance! The other option that the Admiral offered, since my name is Wayne, is photoshopped below...party on!!!
