Naming a boat is almost as hard as naming a child. I'd consider the names of some of the old America's Cup boats - courageous, intrepid etc. I also like the names of the Navy academy boats such as gallant, defiant.
I had a neighbor who named his boat White Star, then found out that was the line that owned the Titanic. I'd avoid those! I considered naming my boat after a particularly litigious opponent, as she paid for it! Good ting you have a large transom, because after you put Mattapoisett on the transom there may not be room for too much else.
