I'm having a hard time coming up with a name for a "future" 21ec. I work at a marina/in the recreation field. my wife is a elementary school teacher. I see so many boat names at work that I'm having a hard time...we will be cruising lake Michigan and Lake Superior.

any ideas/direction??? thanks!
 
Maybe I'm morbid, but I think of this question differently from most people, it seems. Most want something which will be fun, capture the character of the boat and the owners, and maybe will look cool with other graphics.

I look at some of the resulting names and can only think of the mayday call and how stupid and confusing it is going to sound on the radio.

I don't know anyone who has ever actually had to make that call.
 
I really like Roger's suggestion, but to go with TomRay's theme,

How about naming it: My boat

That way when your screaming on the radio you can yell, "My boat is sinking!" (heaven forbid!!!!)

Of course, you might end up with one of those Abbott and Costello routines with the Coast Guard.

CG: What's the name of your boat?
ES: My boat
CG: Yes, your boat. What the name of it?
ES: My boat
CG: OK, buddy. What do others call your boat?
ES: My boat
CG: Yes, your boat....what do other people call it?
ES: My boat

You get my drift...no pun intended.
 
I just want to add...

My above comments are coming from a guy whose boat is named "Pingu."

I don't need to call the Coast Guard to have people not understand the name. Heck at CBGTs I get teased. TomRay's advice is good.

I answered the coast guard one night, in regards to a phoney mayday call, and had the coast guard saying RUB "N" TUG over the radio on channel 16. He and I both were chuckling. Good times.
 
love the rub n tug....i saw it right away when i joined in your gallery. it looks like we have a similar style. love the pic of being towed on surfboard.
 
In our travels in the Abacos, we ran across a big fancy Yacht called "Poverty Sucks" Can you imagine a mayday call using that handle? Who would want to come out and save them? I like the "Loan Ranger" Happens to be very fitting for me at this time.
A point of interest. They are saying that during these tough economic times to get this bailout package past that money is hard to get. That is not true. We have found money available from many different sources, from banks to credit unions. Boat loans can be had from any source on the internet. Do you think it is a con job? It is bringing down the price of crude. Maybe there is a silver lining in all this.

Even better with a twist, how about "PetTugSki"

Maybe I could even get my friend Rob Hazelton, ("The Voice of Boyne") to do a voiceover for your horn!
