Need help naming the new boat
 
1 Attachment(s)
I took delivery of my new ride today. It is a Cabo 40 flybridge sportfisherman(picture below). I sold the Fountain and am looking to do a bit more fishing and snorkeling with the kids.

All my previous boats have been named MegaByte, MegaByte*2, MegaByte*3 primarily because sales of computers, memory, disks, and Info Technology and Management consulting work paid for the hobby. I am no longer in that business, so I am at a bit of a loss to come up with a good name.

We live in Naples, Florida. I am of Irish and Scottish heritage. I am currently operating a boat dealership selling Triton fishing boats and Sunsation powerboats in Southwest Florida.

So far I have the following lame candidates:

4 C's (there are 4 of us in the Cullen family)

Fin McCool, with a fish motif; Finn McCool is a legendary Irish giant who was capable of any task.

Cabo Wabo

MegaByte **4

Paradigm Shift (consulting gig lingo)

Weasel Space (I often call my kids weasels)

Carpe Fiche (strictly speaking, "sieze the document", but it has the right sound.) Alternately, Carpe Pisces.

I need some help coming up with a few more good ones.

Thanks,

Tom

Anglersonly.com does not have that much traffic yet. Besides, powerboaters are so much more creative.

Well.....drink a bottle Jack Daniel's and before you finish it. YOU WILL come up with a name.

Re: Need help naming the new boat
 
Thanks for the input folks. We've come up with a few new ones:

C's the day
C's the moment
TeraBites (my last technology deal was for 100 TeraBytes of storage and the storage networking gear)

Pigs B Flyin' (as in "you'll get that boat when pigs fly")
Reel Stripper (the wife does NOT like that one)
Real Hooker (ditto)

Floridiots (my kids' name for most of the people from florida who end up being interviewed on television for the world to see. An unlikey candidate - imagine hailing a marina or resort- " South Seas, South Seas, South Seas, came back to the Floridiot. Not going to work)

Any additional help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom
