We named our 30-1 "Penniless" for obvious reasons 22 years ago.
I thought one of the most unique names was on a race boat - WOFTAM - used to be
owned by Wendy Mittman Clarke, who was editor of Chesapeake Bay magazine for a
while (may still be?). Waste of F...... Time and Money.

When we were choosing our boat name recently we had a few guidelines:
- No puns, silly names, or motor boat names ("Master Baiter")
- Relatively easy to pronounce, spell, and understand over the VHF
- Uniqueness - some names are very common (Amazing Grace, Second Wind, etc)
and it'd be unfortunate to have the same name as someone else in the marina or
sailing region. Ideally it'd even be unique in the US Coast Guard database
(which you can check online), in case you ever want to become a documented
vessel.
If you're into music, a lot of our ideas revolved around song names - High
Hopes (Pink Floyd), An Awesome Wave (Alt-J), Tessellate (Alt-J).
Although some names - like An Awesome Wave - can seem like they're tempting
the fates / sea gods. I wouldn't pick a name like Rogue Wave because for one it
might be bad luck, and if you ever do get into trouble, people will say "I told
you so."

OK coming up with a new name for our new boat is proving very difficult.
I thought I would throw it out to you guys for some ideas!
Maybe you came across something sometime and thought wow what a great name
for a boat!
I can't believe this is so difficult... Lol
