The annual survey to find out what people were naming their boats, the one from BoatUS, used to disappoint me. The same old usual suspects: Odyssey, Mistress, Irish Eyes, Serenity (or Sea-renity, natch), Osprey, Wet Dream.
So I stopped reading it, and instead keep an eye out for those less common and possibly more appropriate name options that reveal something about the character of the owners, whether it's humor, vulgarity, honesty, maybe a smidge of exaggeration.
