best name for girl/boat ever

So I'm recently single again. Dating a girl that loves getting air in the SR. Best part is het name: Randi Bachelor. She said she caught hell when she lived in London for 3 months. I have only been seeing her for a few weeks. How long do I have to wait to rename my boat?

Never rename a boat, terrible luck. Buy a new one and then name it in her honour.

Plastic surgeons hehe! What ARE you suggesting????

I worked with a Justina Bollik this week.

I'm supersticious but have no hesitation in renaming a vessel.

I say go for it (the renaming, but I guess it works for the girl as well):

Well this has come up a few times .. wouldnt say I wouldnt do it, but I'd make sure the circumstances justified it, I wouldnt just do it whimsically, I dont believe in that, and I dont really know why, I just wouldnt.

I think that the rule is that you name your boat after the woman who allows you to buy it in the first instance

The rest are just ships in the night.
