I need the input from some fellow boaters. I'm trying to name my 96' Cobalt 233. It looks like the boat pictured below, but with green graphics ... so, what do you like best?

Green Eyes (wife and dog both have green eyes)
Ergophobic ("a fear of work")
Wake Therapy (has a nice ring to it)
Fair Weather Fan (has a sports connotation, but an obvious meaning for boating)

I'd love to hear what you think! Any other names come to mind?

Re: Need help naming my boat!

Do you find yourself naturally referring to it as something? My boat's an ugly green color, and the guys at the launch just started calling it "guacamole" so that's become the name.

I like names that just naturally happen. But I voted for "Ergophobic" because it seems original.

Ahoy there CheapbotKev, just to add a bit of New Zealand native Maori into your equation you might like to consider "Kakariki" which is Maori for Green / a native parrot(also coloured green) which species now flourishes on our coastal islands and can often be observed coast-side. You may have to consider having to explain what it means a lot though!

Re: Need help naming my boat!

I voted for Wake Therapy, its great word play, short, simple, and everyone will get it right away. Not only is it the opposite of sleep therapy, wake is like the wake of a boat. Boat names like that are cool and make people say why didn't I think of that.

Too many people would need a dictionary to know what Ergophobic means (me included), Green Eyes only you would know what it meant (not cool), and Fair Weather Fan is too long. You'd need a yacht to spell that out in any decent sized font.

Nice suggestions. I like the sound of Jaded and Green with Envy.

After hearing a couple opinions about Wake Therapy I'm starting to lean towards that.

Keep em' coming!

Well ... my first thought was "Cougar Bait" ... but my wife didn't like that very much.

perhaps my notion won't work so well in your case... keeping the sweety happy is of paramount importance...;)

2.worn out or wearied, as by overwork or overuse.
3.dissipated: a jaded reprobate.

I've always wanted to name a boat this:

I've always wanted to name a boat this:

Innominate Pleasure

But, then, I'm an old English major, so what do I know.

BTW...Innominate means "unnamed." But it sounds sorta sexy, I think.
