Well, "Short Bus" made me laugh, but I think some would find that offensive. The name that occurs to me is "Jaune Fille." Obviously a play on jeune fille and not grammatically exact French. Might come too close to violating the rule that names should be easy to understand over the radio, though. -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats <montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com> On Behalf Of Burton Lowry Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2019 5:38 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: M_Boats: Name for my boat - Votes needed Sunshine.

I tend to agree with what Dave posted...what calls you, or what's the boat telling you? It may take listening for a while.
I am currently 'listening' for a name for the El Toro dinghy I'm refurbishing (it never had one, so I don't need the de-naming ceremony). People make suggestions but most of them are a clear 'no'. In that vein, there's a saying - "If it's not a clear yes, it's a no" - in case that's helpful.
The Ensenada 20 I had for a short time came without a name. I was thinking of naming her "Sloop John Be" but then found my Monty. The folks I sold her to named her "Stella Blue" after having her a little while (she has light blue hull) and it seemed to fit.
All that said...the only one that jumps at me from your list is "Shooting the Breeze" - which just means I could imagine having a boat with that name, it may not be a fit for yours!
cheers, John
