I'm sure there's some copyright violation, but you're not doing it for profit, so you're really doing some free advertising, right?
And who said Spongebob's for kids? That's my favorite show, although I wouldn't encourage my kids to watch it (a little irreverent and pessemistic - who wants kids to be that way?)
Best line from Spongebob "Don't worry Captain, we can buff out those scratches!" (after boat destroyed by backing into rocks)
Five year old and Wife named this one for me. Very convenient because I was stumped after I got the finish coating on. I hadn't really thought about it, and had no name for years.Kids on old soul and thinks he's a surfer.

A long time ago I had a Laser that I bought used, and the name on the transom was "Yssup Tew." You have to read it backwards. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Anyway, be careful what you name your boat, because it could come back to haunt you. Like the Hobie 16 that had the name "Wet Screams" on it, and when it capsized and turtled, one of the crew got trapped beneath the boat and drowned. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

And I also have a problem with the name "Incorrigible," because we worked on a monohull boat once that had that name and the first owner's wife died of cancer soon after the boat was built. He sold the boat to a second man, and that owner's wife also soon died of cancer.
So call me superstitious. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Here's the link to the South Dakota university student video (at the H20 NAC's) with exerts of "flipper", flipping (3rd time) after "flipper" flipped on the first downwind leg jibe, and then flipped (again) immediately after righting.
My explanation of the name got deleted on Hobiecat.com so I will not disclose here. It is based on activities I enjoy while under sail. It can only be accomplished in the ocean, preferably offshore. Most exhilarating while flying a hull, although sometimes not as satisfying.
my old NACRA 5.8 = WET SPOT NACRA 5.5 uni = TWO HOT NACRA 5.7 = wind over water (with the word "wind" looking windblown, and the word water looking like its underwater.
In contrast, my monohull is called "One with the Wind". Once I win a few races on it I'll chaneg it to "Won with the Wind".

The Acat is "Fat Bottom Girl", the hulls are fatter under the water line. Sung to the Queen song...
The CL14 is "Grace" came with that name, its approporiate, dont want to change it.
The IC was called "Smoking Crack" as the hull was cured with a wood stove, prior to me inheriting the hull. I took the power tools to it and made it a DC, so its "Smoking Crack, Chainsaw Massacre."

I didn't name her so I can't take credit for any of this, but my prindle 18-2 is named "ORKAN". On the bow she displays the attached signal flag.
Of course I had to look up the meaning for both... ORKAN is Norwegian for Hurricane. The flag means "You are standing into danger". I'm not norwegian, and I don't own a set of signal flags, but I still like the name and flag on the cat.
Every time I take her out in a good wind, the scorpions start playing through my head... - It's early morning, the sun comes out - Last night was shaking, and pretty loud - My cat is purring, and scratches my skin - ... - Here I am! bah dum bum bada, Rock you like a hurricane!
