In the event we win the lottery, my wife and I have agreed to name our motor yacht
m/y Living Light out of Bethlehem Pennsylvania.
We do not want to scare off the civilians.
Just by the way, I recently finished the excellent book Dead Wake, which mentioned in passing the naming schemes of some steamship companies. Cunard used the names of extinct cities and civilizations (Lusitania). White Star used names ending in "C" (Titanic, Republic, Atlantic) The Union-Castle Line of course had Dunnottar Castle, Carnarvon Castle and so on. But best of all, the old Liverpool Line used the names of professions (Navigator, Electrician, Scholar).

Yes Monarch III was named because original name was Three Js. New owners did not want to change name completely. It was their third boat and figured the name Monarch was appropriate as it would rule their life. And it did for 23 years plus. It is a great boat. Enjoy.

Ours was originally named after a river in Ireland, I wanted to call it 'Macushla' (my darling in Gaelic) but it would've have sounded strange on the VHF, Macushla, Macushla, Macushla a bit like an old steam engine.
My partner Evelyne is French and she maybe thought it was after an old flame (it wasn't, but try telling a woman that) so we wanted something neutral.
We'd been to Andorra in winter it was brass monkeys cold and snowing hard and she had a fur lined coat with a hood and all you could see of her face was a little red nose sticking out.
I said she looked like a little 'Snow Mouse' and so the name stuck and is our boats name.

Our boat name is Arcturus- A red star seen in the Northern Hemisphere in the constellation Bootes- and our boat model is a Polaris 35 here in Australia. We liked it but we do have it spelt phonetically next to our VHF for logging on to Sea Rescue as they inevitably ask for it

Seems inauspicious. I assume you had a better ending to your story.

Stray Dog was the name this lil red boat came to me with, but not being a Citadel graduate and not wanting to explain the name I went with a simple pronounceable name that would reflect the splashy nature of the boat's intended use; plus that was the name of the class leader of the Ludders 44 yawls at the Naval Academy when I arrived there.
