Not to muddy the waters and certainly not be rude or cause any offence to any TF member but Shrew in English is often used to refer to a woman with a nose similar to the furry little animal who continually sticks it in other peoples business and makes remarks with a vindictive acid tongue.
Apologies if I've inadvertently caused any offence but it just shows how complicated life can get.
If you Google Boat Names it will take you to a site with an alphabetical list to choose from.
As always it mustn't be rude, derogatory etc and of course clear to use on the VHF.
I've participated in forums for far too many years to upset by words on a screen from anonymous posters. However, I certainly appreciate you qualifying the hell out of your reply.
Yes, your definition of Shrew falls under the 'Shakespearean' name referenced earlier. However, I've had the name for over 23?+ years.. I didn't choose it, it was given to me and I'm not going to easily change hundreds of people who've been using it for decades.
I'm really more interested in the boat name, than my nickname.
Just a note. I'm not really looking for name ideas or ideas on how to arrive at names. I have a shortlist already. i'm really just curious about peoples perception when they hear the name 'Sundowner'. It's been a discussion point with my SO, and I'm just looking for feedback.
I agree, that I don't want a name I need to spell or explain. I don't like puns or homonyms (e.g. Ecsta-Sea, Searenity, etc). No offense if anyone has named their boats either of those names. I don't like sentences (Me and My two Buoys).
I appreciate people's feedback so far. Many thanks.
