Sixty years ago convinced my father to name his 29-foot sloop "Seeadler," German for "Sea Eagle." Named if after a WWI German sailing ship raider. The first syllable does not rhyme with "see" or "sea." Try "Zayaudler."

Anyone mention "aquaholic" yet?
Just don't name her "May Dey". Causes much confusion and frequent CG boardings.
... There is a whole other genre of boat names that I find juvenile. It is the name that is meant to be preceded by the by the wife saying “He is at/in/with..”. A couple examples being “The Office”, “The Doghouse”, “The Other Woman”, etc...
Noel Coward's tribute to his buddy, "Dickie" Mountbatten. A very loose rendering of the sinking of M's destroyer HMS Kelly. Very good production values for a wartime film. Coward is a ham, but some really good work by others, Bernard Miles as the "Buffer" and a very young John Mills.I’ve never seen In which we serve.

This is a little off subject but we saw two names we found funny at the Charlotte NC Marina. Both were working pump out boats, Grateful head and Bow Movement.
...but 'Aluminum Falcon' popped into my head...
1. Unique; I don’t recall seeing a boat named Trillium before.
In fact there are 27 documented with that name with the USCG:

It would appear there are no original boat names, anymore.
It's because our beloved hobby/lifestyle isnt attracting enough young people with fresh ideas.....
