Might help to know the projected size, (5 ft, 50ft, 500ft, etc), the type (sailboat, schooner, rowboat, hydrofoil, etc...) and intended purpose (fishing, hunting, surviving floods, opening cruise liner, etc). Oh and color (white, grey, camoflage).

As for suggestions,

- you could pick a boat or ship from an anime, or even a fan fiction
- you could pick a favorite anime character (like the one you used to use)
- Whatever pick, may sure it is one the wife will not take offense to.
- Do not be like the home astronomer in Armageddon that named the asteroid after his wife, explaining *why* he did so with all those unflattering remarks, with her listening in.

The S.S. Asskicker gets my vote.

Tho', Murica also sounds nice... ^_^

FOR SCIENCE!!

What kind of boat you planning? Rowboat? Scooner? motorboat?

 

[Stormfury]

As someone who lives on a canal that leads directly to the ocean in miami, and thus sees boats passing on a daily basis, you are failing one major boat requirement-

It has to be a pun involving water/boating/fishing/whathaveyou in some form.

That's why names like 'Wet Dream' happen.

If you want a scienc-y name, "Gone Fission" is an ok one.

"Ship for Brains" made me chuckle.

Since youre building it yourself, something like "Unsinkable III" would be funny.

If you're just gonna fish off it in a lake or something, I would name it "Gotta Catch 'Em All", personally.

 

[PCHeintz72]

An amusing one occurred to me...

make the name of the boat a army rank, one that is not a naval rank.

Like S.S. Sergeant

 

[NuitTombee]

Could you be sued for using S.S. Anne?

 

[rukia8492]

anything involving "Unsinkable *anything*" is off limits, no way in hell am i tempting fate.

this boat is going to be about 15' long, 5' wide, flat-bottomed, single 2-1/2" keel, outboard 25hp engine, 2 livewells.

also going to be used for fishing and hunting.

 

[PCHeintz72]

S.S. Echo.


In honor of both your situation and the comedy movie. What comedy movie you ask?

The Wackiest Ship in the Army

The USS Echo was based on the real-life USS Echo, a 40-year-old twin-masted scow (flat-bottomed schooner) that was transferred from the New Zealand government to the US Navy in 1942, and returned to the New Zealand government in 1944.

Sorry... I love irony, and this calls for it.

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

As a fan of the Dresden Files book series, I'd say name it the Water Beetle.

 

[WarmasterCain55]

I vote for the Crashy Mcsplodey.

 

[Lord Raa]

Glass Hammer.
Chocolate Teapot
Marzipan Dildo
Fistulon's Gauntlet
Seaward
Gonna Get You Little Fishies
Neptune's Kiss

 

[Herdo]

Kraken Bait
Florian Cruiser
Barracuda Hunter
Wilson
A lovely Coconut
Wildeboat
Spawn of Leviathan
Reefhumper
Hymer's Bride

My personal favorites are Kraken Bait and Reefhumper.

FOR SCIENCE ftw

although that comment about anime ships (not just kancolle or arpeggio) got me thinking you could just pick from a list of anime Waifus also

 

[GaelicDragon]

"(Insert highest rank earned) Dream" would be a good way to make other boaters who were in the service come and greet you....

Unless it said, "Drill Sergeant's Dream"...then they may run screaming.

 

[jaredstar]

i say give fate the finger and call it titanic.

that being said (and borrowing form sword art online abridged)

Mountain Slayer

Thunder Lion

The Chocolate Axe

Tiffany

Moving on to ship names that arnt ripping off anime (or abridged series based on animes)

No Ship Here


4 am is not conducive to my creativity

 

[TkMacintosh]

I say go for "S.S. More Powerful Than Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and the Incredible Hulk Put Together."

 

[Stormfury]

I say go for "S.S. More Powerful Than Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and the Incredible Hulk Put Together."

Bonus points if it wraps around the entire boat.

Granted, you could make it shorter by naming it the SS Squirrel Girl, but so far his has my vote.

 

[Schema]

How about O.O.S.S. making it the S.S.O.O.S.S.

 

[Lord Raa]

SS Danger Zone

 

[Dartz_IRL]

Not the "Cunning Stunt"?

Or even "Unsinkable III" ?

 

[GaelicDragon]

"Out of the Army Now"
"Duties done, fun's begun"

 

[zerohour]

SS Awesome McCoolname
SS Cherry Popper
SS Tardis
SS Bruce Wayne (Too much Superhero, not enough secret identity love)
SS Chick magnet

If you have a feeling that the first few attempts will be less than stellar, might want to name them after some of your least favorite ship pairings.
