Snake on the plane?

Vampire Rose Pyx That would make a great name if it wasn't for the Pyx at the end, my missus is called Rosanna. She'd love to be called a Vampire...NOT!

That's a really good link Robin, I'll have a play tomorrow though.

I haven't officially named my RIB yet, it was known as the Blue venom Project and I'm exploring other names as I never intendid to name her that. Hwever I am surprised that I haven't found a name, nothing seems right.

I never said it was bad luck to change it either, I said I thought it was bad luck to sail in an un-named boat, and with the date getting nearer and nearer I thought I would enrole some help.

I did think of a way to raise some money for my childrens Schools, by allowing the children to enter names at £1 a go, winner either gets a ride over to IOW or a prize of some sort, but as my wife pointed out, a load of 6 and 10 year olds are likely to come up with silly names and I'd be forced to accept on of these

Can you Imagine

Forget anything blue and call it "Carbon Footprint" as somebody suggested on here in another similar thread a while back

Blue Loon (kind of play on words - blue moon and balloon)

Into the Blue

Blue Belle

Baloo

Bluto (Popeye's nemesis if you didn't know already)

Blue Tooth - got an element of the Viper in there somewhere!

Bone Breaker - I googled 'Osprey Latin' and apparently Osprey comes from the Latin os = "bone;" frangere ="to break" - seems quite appropriate for a RIB!

Or how about Blue Tube as you like videoing your trips? Or is that a dodgy satellite channel?

How about thinking past the blue theme. I've thought up of most if not all the names that contain the word blue.

Carbon footprint I thought was quite good, however it is a little in yer face and will date quickly once the media has found another name for damaging the enviroment.

Lets have some funny ones!
