Boat names.

A friend's father had a rather large sailboat named "BULL MARKET"..he said he made the money to buy the boat in the stockmarket......
the dingy (the little boat they pulled behind the sailboat) was named "BEAR MARKET"

I don't have a name on the side of mine, but it is called "Crown me King". It got the name after my dad said I would not have a boat faster than HIS hydra-sport. Ironically, I got mine running the same day his new promo boat came in, And I SMOKED HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEE HEEE HEEE. I still laugh when I think about that.

Once you've picked out the boat of your dreams, you have an even more difficult choice to make. Now you must name her, which is not an easy task. You have several considerations, including classic superstitions, and whether your friends and family will be embarrassed or offended by the name you choose.
 
One boat naming superstition revolves around whether or not it is okay to rename a previously-owned boat. Some say it is bad luck if you remove an old name on a vessel.
 
Many people choose a boat name based on that of their spouse or children; this is nice, but you can run into problems if more kids are on the way. And, it's not very original. Think about how you paid for the boat when trying to come up with a name. You can always name your boat after your profession or industry; or if you are paying for your boat with money made in the stock market or gambling proceeds, perhaps you should incorporate that message into your boat's name. Of course, if you own your own company, it is a smart marketing move to name your boat after the company, and instill your brand at every port
