Seshi Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Does naming a boat give the Owner good fortune on the water? I’m thinking about naming my boat the Going Merry, my husband does not agree with my level of nerdom though, so we will see. Any thoughts of naming a boat? Is it as important as I think it is?

Ohayotaku Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I would advise against naming it “The Minnow” (showing my age) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohayotaku Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) For me it would probably be “The Bebop” or “Swordfish” for an anime reference.

I've never heard that naming a boat can bring good fortune. I've heard that RE-naming one can bring bad luck however, as can naming one after a woman. So I guess make sure you like the name you pick, and don't use the name of the mistress. edit: a quick google brought this blog post up. Maybe some ideas there (or in the comments).
