Trying to come up with a name for our new C-Dory, appreciate any thoughts.
1. Kestrel Dawn - an alias for Jyn Erso from Rogue One
2. Inez Linnea - My wife's grandmother _________________ Brandon

Of the two, I'd vote for the first one.
One litmus test I've always done with boat names is to imagine hearing the name over a very muffled VHF radio with lots of background noise. I just don't see your second option being understood by other boaters. _________________ Cheers

I like the first one too. Another litmus test I told my wife is that you'll likely have to spell it using the phonetic alphabet. The first name seems a little easier on both fronts.
Thanks |

22's don't have a tremendous amount of cabin room. In the interest of bliss and tranquility when aboard, you might want to let the captain or first mate whichever the case may be, pick the name. _________________ Jack

Oh I agree with that, she picked both of those, ha
I think she is also leaning towards the first one, or something totally different. The ball is definitely in her court. |

Kestrel Dawn gets my vote. Great name.
I'm sure she is a lovely lady and deserving of the recognition, but Rob is right regarding Inez Linnea. I'm sure few will know what you're saying over the radio, let alone in person. Unless that doesn't matter, then go for it. Does grandma have a nickname the kids call her? |

Think about saying it over the VHF 3 times to the Coast Guard radioman, or running along watching the scenery and the boat traffic. What will catch your ear when you aren't listening for it? Also, what can you put on the side of your boat that will be able to be read from 100 yards away?

We're still mulling it over, in the past we've had (my favorite) Pi, which just had a large Pi symbol on the side of the boat, Mary Pearl, Ethel, and a few we just called by there make or model, "Starwind", "Snipe" etc. Usually when we find one we know immediately, Kestrel Dawn is almost there but not quite. We'll get it painted on when we get the numbers painted on too, so there is sort of a time limit. |

Trying to figure out how to post a picture. test
Oh wow it worked!. Sorry I posted a sailing picture, but I figured I'd add a pic of myself so you can see who you're talking to, plus a picture is worth a 1,000 words, even a 9 year old one, lol. Man I loved that boat name.
P.S. Not the best sail trim, looks like the main is under trimmed, rookie |

I'm a big fan of naming boats after birds! I would just go with "Kestrel" for overall ease and convenience. Back in the day, the Kestrel used to be called a "Sparrow Hawk," that would be cool too! |

I have an English Kestrel sailboat
http://www.kestrel.org.uk/
named Kestrela. Fun boat. Originally just "Kestrel" I added the "a" later for a specific reason.
Estrela is Portuguese for "Star", so I thought Kestrel combined with Estrela was a nice play on words. Our C-Dory 22 "Problemadela" translates to "her problem". A story there as well.
My Brazilian (they speak Portuguese) wife has kind of entered the boated world kicking and screaming, and thus I have tried to make my boats about her, kind of like letting the older child name the new baby, I guess. If you have a partner in your boating adventure, you might want to make the boat somewhat about them, including letting them name it. |
