While cruising, you are your boat name.
It becomes your identity in the cruising community and your new surname.
Seriously. Choose with thought.
Is it legible on your transom? (Avoid trendy, swirly, micro-sized script.)
Does it sound clear on VHF?

"A popular device whereby to capture the sea's magic is to choose a name with the prefix sea. The waters abound with Sea Winds, Sea Stars, Sea Witches, etc. It is my presumption that there are as many names starting with Sea in Lloyd's Register of Yachts, as there are listings of Martinez in the Madrid phone book..."
William Snaith from On the Wind's Way (1973)
