I just thought it was time to bring this boat name thread back into action, since the new season is almost upon us, and it is time to think about putting a name on your boat and christening her before she splashes in for the first time this year.

If your boat is more than just a piece of equipment, if she is a part of your family and your life, you should give her a name.

And I read somewhere recently that boats, like hurricanes, are no longer considered to be only female, so that also gives a greater potential range of names, although it is hard to imagine a boat named George.

Does anybody have any new name suggestions?
