Hey I've no problem with you using Ocean Cloud, I only didn't mention cause I thought it was the name of Don Allum's boat. Knowing nothing about naming boats, I didn't know if the same name could be used for more than one boat. I do think you should read the full lyrics before you pick it though.

For the record there's a whole lota Mal/Serenity in there

"He's seen too much of life And there's no going back.
The loneliness calls him, And the edge which must be sharpened,
He's losing it. And he knows.
But there's a fighter in his mind and his body's tough
The years have been unkind, but kind enough." -Ocean Cloud (Marbles) -Marillion

OK, then, Capt, here're my suggestions:
Rán - the Norse (Viking) goddess of the sea.
Tamesis - Celtic goddess of water (her name is where the name of the Thames is derived from).
Remiel - means "mercy of God".
Sachiel - his name is sometimes translated as "angel of water".

Budda's Plastic Rocket...
I love it...

As to the question before us, leave 6 and 7 in the running. We may be hugely obsessive fans but that doesn't mean we would only accept a Firefly reference.
And to suggest, Shadow.
NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
Since you can't probably use Black Pearl...
Blue Sun (and use the logo?)
I like daveshayne's suggestion "Shadow" as well.
My fave would be:
Malcolm Reynolds -- put his middle initial in, if we can find it -- it's dignified and "still flying"
Having spent some time on water I'm a little superstitious (best word for "nervous" here, I admit) about boats with tipping, sinking, or any other kind of physical danger associated with their names.

Evenin' Cappy.
Why's the Rum Gone would be great for a twenty-two footer that spends most of its time in the marina. Or for a cabin cruiser. I think you get over fifty-sixty feet you need some dignity.
If you could find some of the old Pogo cartoon books (drawn by Walt Kelly, if I'm recalling correctly) from the Fifties you'd find frames of Pogo poling a little boat which sported various gigantic names on it. "Maynard J. Keynes" and the like. Real people.
ZOKANARA RIVER would hold all the ladies' names and some would think it a hydrographic feature, some would catch on, and some would ask, but the answer could be one sentence.
You may say I'm overthinking this, but I got really sick of explaining a boat name some years back, and it wasn't even my idea.

Actually, I really like "Why is the Rum Gone" for the name. Maybe because I love that part in the movie. I always wondered what proof of rum it would take to make those explosions

Um. The obvious?
Serenity
Firefly
The not so obvious?
Minnow
Serenity Valley
Hera
Or name it after your favorite beer, I dunno!!!
I'll never have a boat but I get to name my dogsleds on a regular basis!
