NGKUR - My kayak needs a name!

[kariann12]

So, MH and I bought kayaks last weekend. We've probably got a few weeks before the water is in liquid form again, but MH won't let me put it in the water without a name. So, I've been trying for the last week to come up with something, but nothing has really jumped out at me. So, I thought I'd ask you guys, since there are some seriously creative folks in here.

I was hoping give it a name somewhat related it its brand name (Hurricane) or its color (lime green). I've really got nothing so far, except Lily (lily pad), and its kinda boring. Anyway, here's a pic of it. Any input would be much appreciated

That kayak is obviously a Francine.

[lilsneezy]

Margarita, because limes.

I like Lilly Pad, or Kermit from the previous suggestions. I also like the name Ariel.

I'm a fan of Margarita (or Rita for short), I might go with Katrina or Sandy, since they are the most notable lady Hurricanes. Or you could call it Typhoon or Cyclone, synonymous with hurricane. It could be Envy (green with envy), Ivy, or The Hulk, or Elphaba/Elphie/Wicked. Pistachio? LOL Ok creativity exhausted.

Wow! I love all the suggestions! I like Margarita, but I was thinking I'd want to call her Margie for short, but our car is Large Marge, so its too similar. But Rita! I can get behind that. Also Envy, all good things here.

Also, Francine. Its gonna be a tough choice.

You make Kermit cry.

I like it, but I feel like boat names should be women.

I like Rita for margarita and limes! My mom's dog's name is Margo, I suggested Rita but she didn't like it as much.

Also I love that you are naming your kayaks... what did your DH name his?

You should come up with names that go together.

Also, you are making me want to tell DH that we should name our kayaks!

I really need some closure on this issue, Kari.

Well, I think she'll be Francine Margarita LastName. Rita for short :-)


I hope the wait didn't cause you any undue stress :-)

So... what you're saying is I can still use Paddly McFlapperton for a baby name? (:

Congrats on the new addition!

It's all yours! And thanks! I'm excited to get it on the water in about 2 months when our weather starts fucking cooperating.
