FAQ
It is actually required by the U.S. Coast Guard to identify your boat's name and hailing port both on documents and physically on the boat.
Other ship names come from aspects like weapons and physical traits, such as Crosshares and Nuts and Dolts. However, there have also been portmanteau names that became standard, like Renora, Arkos, and Ironqrow. Fans tend to start coming up with pairing names as soon as they start shipping a pair.
Boat Naming Traditions and Superstitions Traditionally, boats were named after women, and the naming ceremony took place before a ship's inaugural launch. While there's more freedom nowadays in what you can name your boat, many avid sailors still conduct a naming ceremony in keeping with age-old customs.
Play on words: Puns and cliches are a great way to give your boat some personality and earn originality points among your fellow boaters. Make it about you: Your boat name should reflect your personality, passions or hobbies. For example, 'Alibi' could be a fun way to add character to your boat if you're a lawyer.
Boat naming has been around for thousands of years, started when sailors named their vessels after deities and saints in the hopes of good fortune and smooth sailing. Names were chosen very carefully since the wrong name meant the difference between a safe voyage or being lost at sea.
The name of the boat must not be identical, either literally or phonetically, to any word or words used to solicit assistance at sea (that rules out MayDay or similar names). And the name of the boat must not contain or be phonetically identical for obscene, indecent or profane language or to racial or ethnic epithets.
The habit of referring to ships in the feminine dates back centuries. It's largely due to the crews of ships historically being all male and being at sea for lengthy periods of time. The affinity for one's ship as a home became similar to one's association to their mother or girlfriend.
Battleships (hull code BB), by law, were named for states, except for USS Kearsarge (BB-5), which was named after a mountain in Merrimack County, New Hampshire, and an American Civil War sloop-of-war. Combat stores ships (AK, AF, and AFS) were named after stars and other heavenly bodies.
Don't Skip the All-important Boat-Naming Ceremony It will likely anger the gods of the wind and the sea, and you don't want to get them annoyed. And, it's simply considered bad luck to sail on a nameless boat, especially with so many cool boat names available.
