Naming your boat isn’t easy, and there\u2019s probably more than one right for you. So here are five tips to help get you started on finding the right boat name.<\/p>\n

1. Decide on a theme.<\/strong> Do you prefer names that are humorous, romantic, water-based, or very personal?<\/p>\n

2. Search the web<\/strong> for your chosen theme plus your boat type (eg. \u201cfunny pontoon boat name\u201d). You\u2019ll be amazed at what you\u2019ll find.<\/p>\n

3. Write down any names<\/strong> that sound particularly \u201cright\u201d. Then read them\u00a0out loud.\u00a0Sometimes a name that looks good onscreen or on paper won\u2019t sound right when spoken.<\/p>\n

4. Come up with a top five list<\/strong>, and play around a bit with any words that might be used in a different way. Doggonit<\/em> might become Dog on It<\/em>.<\/p>\n

5. Personalize it.<\/strong>\u00a0Instead of\u00a0Mom\u2019s Mink,<\/em>\u00a0how about \u201cMandy\u2019s Mink<\/em>\u201c? The poetic\u00a0Rendezvous<\/em>\u00a0could become\u00a0Rhonda-vous<\/em>. Tying it to something specific will help prevent seeing the same name on too many other boats.<\/p>\n
