Danny,

There are lots of very innovative boat names over here in Australia.
Rather than bore you with a whole raft of them, I'll mention two that have
always stuck out in my mind.

The first is "Waikikamukau".  For all the world this name looks very Kiwi
(New Zealand) or even Polynesian.  The boat owner was constantly pounded
with questions about the origin of this name as you might imagine.  But
stop scratching your head and try to pronounce it.  Then you'll start to
realise he was having a piece of everyone.  Just in case you are having
trouble, I'll break it up for you:  Wai-kik-a-mu-kau

The other stand out name came from a skipper who was entering his yacht
into upcoming Australian and world championship regattas.  He turned up to
register his brand new boat about an hour before the deadline.  Because he
had no name for the boat they wouldn't accept his entry.  He walked out of
th eyacht club and right in front of him was a road condition warning
sign.  He immediately walked back in and registered his boat as "Slippery
When Wet".


Maybe that will assist your imagination,
David
