Second Boat Naming Competition - win a diveboat for the weekend

[South West Diving]

In celebration of our latest announcement regarding our acquiring of a second dive charter boat :) , we're holding a competition for a new name for her.

The prize is the WHOLE charterboat for a weekend next summer! Yes, not just a couple of spaces or a boat for a day, with us you get the whole boat for the weekend!! A £1000 prize!!!

Rules: submit one name per person, and the one I use gets the prize, simple!

I must admit I've already had two very good names for her already, so your thoughts best be good!

PM or post up

PS, please no TopGun or Tom Cruise related ones though :D

[Paulo]

Money Pit :)

[gordyp]

I always thought 'Wizards Sleeve' was a good name for a boat.

Dave

[Orlando]

Wet Janner

[edward]

I'm resisiting suggesting 'The Floppy Pasty':)

The Greeks had some good water god/sprit names, although I think 'Doris', goddess of the sea's bounty might sound a bit odd on the radio:)

How about 'Amphitrite', sea goddess and consort of Poseidon? There, that is my entry:)

There was a Starfish 8 for sale on FAFB called 'Chocolate'. It took me a little while to add 2 and 2.......:)

[Vanny]

Going down

[Woz]

For Sale.

As it probably will be soon like the rest of your dive kit. Then you can buy another one. Then sell it. Then buy another. Then sell it.

[South West Diving]

Personally, I though 'Apoc' as it'd be the only Apoc in the water :D

Is that like Romford Navy? Funny, I thought a dive boat would be a bit more than a jet ski?

[drysuitdiver]

I thought Pegasus was a horse too. Just goes to show u can have anything as a name. When I was on holiday in exmouth the skipper of a boat called most of the smaller boats Birmingham navy. PS not from Romford ;)

How about Topsy-Turvy. Too camp?

When I'm too decrepit to dive, I shall retire to a seaside villa named "Dunfettlin'".

If it's any help, we named our new boat Pleasuremax. Mainly due to the strapline "ribbed for heightened sensations for him and her". Our other boat is called "Unnecessary Faff".

I know you've said no Top Gun links, but in the RN tradition of linking names (ie HMS Brazen's helicopter called Hussy) my first thought was Valkyrie but that's obviously been done.

How about a few more Tom Cruise related names?

Edge of Tomorrow
Vanilla Sky
Far and Away

or my favourite

All the Right Moves

[Spirit of Guernsey]

Wet Dreams

[Spirit of Guernsey]

and the tender could be called 'Happy Endings'

Wet Dreams

My brothers boat in Hong Kong was Wet Dream. I guess the Chinese man he bought it of did not quite understand.

Anyway:

1) If it is the same boat and a mirror image of the first it has to be "Nugpot"

2) If it is bigger and better I suggest "Over Sight" or "Over Site" - A sight is on top of a gun/over dive site

I've always liked the idea of a boat called "The Heart of Gold". Highly improbable, though.

Somehow I don't think I'll ever have enough money, so it could be a good name for a boat:)
