My late wife named our M-15 "Shrunken Treasure" because of the boat size as well as our budget. The name is still painted on her stern because I have heard that re-naming a boat invites bad luck, but I have enjoyed fair wind, and good luck for many years.

WIND RACER-we can always hope. CARE LESS- my normal modus operandi and how I feel when on the water. HELPMEJESUS- when the lee port is showing green, the main sheet is stuck, and the tiller tamer won't release. Not a bad idea for many other occasions. BEYOND-where most of us really are when we're at the helm.(There's still some imaginative little boy-or girl-in all of us). GOOD LUCK- why do people always say that to me when I leave the dock?

I've become dissatisfied with the name I picked for my M17. This isn't a new problem. We've had a lot of dogs and it's sometimes been hard to find the right name, though we've always managed eventually. But it's preying on me.
I never formally named her so I have no qualms about changing it.
Not really looking for suggested names but maybe for ways to go about thinking of one.
