I was very tempted to name a previous boat I owned "Big Mistake." But I knew I'd want to sell it and figured that name wouldn't help.

Not really band names, are they, Mr. RTF?
Let`s smut it up a little, we had a band called "Enormous Horns". You could mount an air horn array to show why you really used the name.

Our name is on it's third boat... "Moma's Mink III" derived from a true story forty years ago. My dad's second wife wanted a mink coat... He convinced her that owning a mink coat was politically incorrect and that since she was living on the west coast now instead of back east, it wasn't necessary. They bought a boat instead.

One name that made me smile was 'Y Vern'. I assume the admiral helped with the name?Or maybe just a rational thought after having it built?

Hopefully that clears up any misunderstanding.

It seems Ms. WB has grasped the concept.
We have named every boat we've had Squeeze, both as a tribute to the 80's band we loved and as a double entendre for any other squeeze you can think of!
No joke!

Musical Boat names

Since both my partner and I are musicians and grew up in the 50s and 60s, our Californian trawler, naturally, had to have a musical name. Her name is "Sea C Rider".

Reminds me of a 70s band that played in Puttin Bay Ohio called “BenDover and the Screamers”

Well, not a band or song, but how about 'Hoof-Hearted' (a racehorse).

"All vessels are requested to keep a lookout and report any sightings of hoof hearted..."

Great ideas above!
Not a band name but there was/is a racing sailboat here called "Occasional Coarse Language".

Brand names do not equal boat names.

People need to take care in naming their boats to not sound complex, stupid, silly, or misleading. That's the facts, Max.
