message from boat owner:
I found my boat in a salvage junkyard. I have fixed it up, pampered it, and now it is ready to hit the waters, but it needs a "special name."
My family of three kids-tweens and wife are into watersports, but not sure how this newest toy fits into our lives.
I tried to think of names that emphasize how I received this freebie O'Day sailboat, such as: abandonment, lost cause, rejected, or Jane Doe, but they just don't seem to fit or have a "catchy" feel to it.
I am a carpenter who looks forward to putting this O'Day in the waters with a "special name." Help!! I thought about Sweet Vicki after my wife, but she just doesn't feel it is right...Send your ideas my way.
Thanks!
My response:
I like your ideas, but it sounds like you should look at them from the other side of the coin. The positive side. Then the ideas may sound more appealing to you and your family.
For example, instead of "Lost Cause", perhaps a name with the word "Found" would be more appropriate, e.g.,
"Lucky Find" or "Lucky Catch"
Aye Found It
Salvaged Beauty
