Don't really want to be doing this...But! Names?

[Hightower]

I'm having terrible trouble selecting a name for my Vipermax "Project Blue Venom".

This was not a serious name, just selected it after watching Spiderman III at the Cinema.

I have tried every combination of name with the word "Blue" in, have tried to make a name from my families names too. Nothing seems to feel right. I can't be taking her to sea without a name, that would be bad luck.

I've got writers block

So...I'm asking anyone that reads this to have a little think for me please.

I would prefer it if the name hasn't been used before on a boat and would like a play on words, like "Mind Games" or "Crime Pays" or "She's got the House" or whatever.

So get your thinking caps on and come up with a name please.

How Hard can it be

That's a tall order!

"The Mistress?" as in "I'm on the..." or "I'm out with"...

I like the Blue Streak one, as that was the rocket motor that was tested on the IOW in the 60's

It just has to be:

WIDESCREEN

That's quite a common one Matt, you'll have to do better than that

My missus wanted me to call it "Third Degree" or "III Degree". Trouble is, she's such a lovely person is my missus, that it would have been named on a lie.

'The Clink'?

'Up to the neck'

or to be really vulgar...'Your Mother'

You're really making me chuckle tonight

"In/Outlaws escape"

This is a handy little tool for looking at what you've selected printed on the back of a boat Graphics

Andy

Working along the lines of you built it.

'Towerbuilt' - Like the Peterbuilt trucks

'Towermax'

'Highmax'

or the viper theme

'Snakes Alive'

'Snake Charmer'

'Blue Snake'

'Solent Viper'

Its late, I'll think on it.

Just thought though, 'MoreYum' is quite a good spoonerism

Anything with High or Tower is out

Solent Viper is quite good, I had already thought of Vipers Venom earlier and had even drawn some graphics up of what I wanted, but I thought the name might not be so long lived if you get what I mean.

How about: "True Blue" Can mean many things

Simply 'Venom' is okay. I would steer away from anything too twee. It can sound a bit daft if you need to speak to the coastguard etc;

"Hello Solent. This is "Pink Pussy"......

I know what you mean, but I'm trying to steer clear of the more common names and want something a little more one off.

This is a quick sketch of the graphics I drew for the Vipers Venom Idea. Just gives you an insight to what I'm looking for.

Andy....wasn't your BMW called "Haku"?

..Hawaiian for Flower, or Lei, or even Bridal Bouquet....a nice girly nod in the direction of keeping the missus quiet while you went out on yer boat, Fair enough?

Why not call this one......

I'm glad you forshortened the name Robin, I'd of needed at least an 8m one to get that lot on

My last RIB was called Kohaku after a Red and White Koi Carp. The blue and White one has quite a boring name

[AndrewH]

How about an emergency services theme

Blues and Two's ... or .. Blues and Tubes even

If its the viper theme then you could have

Trouser Snake
Fangs for nothing
Adder nuff
Vindscreen Viper

I'll get my coat ...
