All your suggestions for names just prove my point - you have to come up with your own name. Maybe we'll wait until we get the 22 to decide. No, no, no - we havnt decided to move to a 22 (yet). Still havnt gotten the 19 in the water.
I'm getting kinda partial to noname Angler 19. It fit so well for noname Angler 16.

I complain because ours came pre-named, which is probably the reason we could afford it. I would tell you what it is but that is the reason I carry the dinghy in the right spot to keep it under cover.
Think about the person who has to buy it (and the name) when you sell.

You could name it "Tora" and you'd be sure to get everyone's attention each time you got on the VHF, eh?
I've got a few names in mind, but my wife is adamant that you can't name a boat (or a human child, come to that) until you've gotten to know her a little bit. Still, I like "Shoal Bandit" because of the C-Dory's shallow draft. Of course, you might look a little foolish if you ever ran aground. I crossed the Pacific in a sailboat named Hurricane, though...some of us just like to tempt fate.

Listen to the wise man (and notice what I named my boat!)

I had a promiscuous fishing buddy quite a while back who named his boat the "Old Lady" That way he could cover his tracks by saying he was just going out on the old lady again. As I recall he also had a dinghy called "Tender Behind".
Now picture follwing his boat with the names on the transom and the dingy in tow: "Old Lady" "Tender Behind"

If you like a name, use it! You wouldn't not name your child "John" simply because there were other kids with the same name, would you? IMHO, same difference. I'm sure that somewhere there is at least one more "Lori Ann," and it doesn't bother me.

Gosh.... I guess you're right... I should have just named it "John"!!!!
John
or "The John"?
Actually, after I already had the decal on, I found that "Tomahawk" is a fairly common boat name.... |

I think you have heard me say this before somewhere but I think of a C-Dory as a close relative of the working boat. Many of the fishing, ore and push boats are named after people. When I was in Newfoundland many fishing boats were named after children, couples, Etc. When I named my boat I thought about all my relatives and my hardworking, unselfish, loving Grandmother came to mind. Her name was Minnie Swann. As my Grandfather always said,have you ever seen a swann without two en's?
