Original boat name

We came back to Gig Harbor today and found that our dock neighbors have put a name on their new Selene 50 Europa, Trillium.

I really like that name. The Pacific Trillium (Trillium Ovatum) is found in the mountains of PNW and is a white flower that can be found under the canopy of our forests. It is a favorite among folks who like to spend time walking in woods. Unfortunately, it is not as common as it used to be.

Our dock neighbors (in their early 70s I believe) named their new boat after the flower they enjoyed while walking through the forests when they were young.

1. Unique; I don’t recall seeing a boat named Trillium before.
2. Easy to say and easy to hear.
3. Easy to pronounce when read, even if someone has never heard of the flower.
4. The name has significance to the owner.
5. Looks great on the stern of the absolutely gorgeous Selene.
