Why not have kids name every boat?

Bill Belichick buys a new boat, and it's got a cool name. Last month, Patriot's coach Bill Belichick pulled off (one of) the greatest championship comebacks of all time, winning Super Bowl 51 in dramatic fashion to say the least. Apparently, one of the first things he did after the victory was purchase a new boat. Smart guy! With seven Super Bowl titles on his resume (5 as a head coach, and 2

Looking for some boat name ideas? Our new monthly feature where we search our boat name order database is back, and this time we're taking a look at boat names from March of 2016. A lot of great boat names came through our system last month, making it hard to pick only ten. And just like our inaugural edition, all of these boat names were actually put on personalized products that were

Here's what we're doing. To help give you some ideas for boat names, we've scoured our database of orders from the month of February, 2016, and we have chosen what we consider to be the best ones.

You guessed it... the article is about a boat name, 'cuz that's what we do here. Even as we haven't done that here in a while. Perhaps now is a good time to 'tern' over a new leaf. Pun intended.

This article popped up today on our news feed, so we thought we'd share... At the Helm: Boat names steeped in tradition, meaning is a story written by W. D. "DOC" Gagan for a Texas publication called The Coastal Currant. There are some good reminders and a few good ideas about boat names, along with some questionable statements. For example, Neptune was a Roman god, not Greek. That aside, if

BoatUS Releases Their 2015 List of Top Ten Boat Names It's an annual tradition. Every year BoatUS releases their top 10 list of boat names based on people who bought vinyl lettering from them over the previous year. This year's list isn't much different than past years', with many familiar names showing up. Here is the press release from BoatUS about the boat names, along with a photo of one of

Probably not, but that's the first ting that jumped out at us... We just read a gripping article about the sinking of the megayacht Nadine, which was depicted in the movie, "The Wolf of Wall Street", and couldn't help but wonder if the yacht's multiple name changes didn't have something to do with her ultimate demise. It's in our nature to wonder such things. After all, we are the boat name blog

A hard-working executive from a small but fast growing technology company recently contacted the boat name blog looking for help naming his new boat. While not his first boat, this would be the man's "first boat big enough to bother naming". The boat is a 275 Dorado, a family-friendly coastal fishing vessel, and will be kept in Rhode Island.

Scuttlebutt raises the question in a brief article today about whether you should name a boat after a woman as an alternative to getting that same woman's name tattooed on your body. Well, yes, boat names are less permanent than tattoos. But there are many other reasons for a male boat owner to not name a boat after a girlfriend besides the potential longevity of your relationship. While not

No kidding. That's why we have this whole blog devoted to boat names. Since we live and breathe this boat name stuff, it caught our eye when we saw an article over the weekend on news-press.com entitled, "Naming a boat sometimes difficult." The article starts out with something we've stated here once or twice... "Choosing a name for your boat or renaming your boat is an important and

It's been a while since we posted any requests for boat naming assistance or other tidbits about boat names.
