Default Baby's Name

I can't believe this hasn't been brought up yet... at least not that I can remember or find.

Has everyone named their boat? I bought mine in December of last year, and my buddies and I have been thinking of a name all summer long. It had to "fit", had to be "nice" enough for the family, and we didn't want it to attract "the law". I feel bad for not giving her that right, and of course the celebration that goes with it !! I wanted to share my thoughts, and see what others have named theirs. What do you think of this one???

Being here in Indy, we're all big Colts fans . The other day, a friend of mine said he heard a commentator call safety Bob Sanders "Controlled Chaos". We all chuckled at his hard hitting technique, with no care for his possibility of getting injured (especially the receiving side of it!!). A few days later I thought, "Dang, that's a GREAT name for the boat!!!" And so she was born... Another buddy thought I should tie in the names of my daughters and last name - My last name is Koch (pronounced "cook"), so obviously I'm always spelling it for people. My wife had to have the dual "K" in my daughter's names, thus Kenzi and Kaci. So, we've decided on "Kontrolled Khaos". Believe me, it definitely fits! There have been many day-afters that we called her EVIL. So... what do you think? I'll even listen to you non-Colts fans, but probably won't care !!!

    Clever! If you like it, go for it!

    Pending an upcoming delivery, I might know a certain admin guy who can do custom vinyl work and might just offer a discount for MOC members! Keep your eyes open for details.

    PS-I was rooting for the Colts last year.

    Who me? lol. Awesome Chris, i'm excited to see what you can turn out with that fancy machine you ordered.

    Ryan, that name sounds great. I really like it... and i'm not even a colts fan, lol. As for the name of our boat, haven't thought of anything. My dad doesn't seem to motivated to come up with a name so who knows. If it was my boat i could come up with some ideas. Actually, he did come up with "Pussy Chaser" but of course mom vetoed that.

    Although I didn't think of it, and I haven't named my boat as yet, my favorite is "Ship Faced"

    I named my Kay Sara' after my 2 daughters Kayla and Sarah. Pronounced like the Doris Day song.

    Speaking of names, here's a site you might like to review if you’re having trouble finding that right one...

    http://www.10000boatnames.com/

    One last note, if you’re "renaming" your boat, you might what to read this little article about nautical protocol (superstition)..... If nothing else, it makes good reading!

    P.S. Was going to name ours 'Unsinkable II" but let's just say I'm not temping fate again ( so thats what that little plugs for......)!
