What shall I call my boat? Well it's not actually mine, but me and a few fiend have got together to buy a little out-boarded, and need a cool name for it.
If you can't think of an exact name, what sort of a name would strike fear into the hearts of other river-goers? I'm thinking maybe a biblical or greek sea-monster (Leviathon? Charybdis?) but all suggestions are welcome...thanks all

How about Bob? (sorry )

I propose you named the Boat "GBs Speak Your Mind" kinda memoir of your achievement here

If I saw a boat named Deliverance coming down the river, I for one would abandon my boat and pray to god I could make it to shore.

My second choose would be to name it Ru Paul

@Weasel, LMAO Squeal Piggy!

@Frogus, name it Mountain Dew

the flying frogman

mulligan the magic monkey

chunky-a$$ mofo

Well I personally think you should not name it : "SPEED DEMON"

<EDIT> @ Weasel : Thanks for the PM

If you want Greek mythology you could always name it Trident! (I for one would also be swimming for shore! )

Lake Placid taught me that!

You shouldn't name it one of those names all boats have.
Try to be original.

But since it's your boat.... I'd go for Titanic!


There was this boat here lots of years ago, and there was an illegal radiostation on it. Everybody listened to them, so after a lot of years they became legal. They were a revolution back then.
The name of their boat was "Veronica". I think it's a cool name.

I agree! and we do need to remember this boat will be on the Thames Crocs would never survive in the Thames - in fact little does!

Same things apply with "Jaws" and "Deep Blue Sea"

@Sleepy : Thanks

If you are stuck for a boat name you could try this link for inspiration.

It has such gems as 'udder delite'

On second thoughts, I'm sure the good people at SYM can come up with some better names for you.

As a personal suggestion I would go with 'Sinky'

For more optimistic reasons I prefer the name Bob!

"U-571" sounds simple enough

But Ol'Paladin from "Wing Commander" games comes up with this one : "Bonnie Heather"

As simple as it is effective

@Kid, good point

More names:

The never ending pit of despair
Did you mean Port?
Nimitz
Poseidon
Moby **** Style
WoodWorm anyone?
