I am a big fan of boat names. There are so many wonderful ones like these Really Stupid Ones from an old post. I just received news about the latest most popular boat names from www.FirstBoat.com.
Following are the top ten most popular boat names for 2011:
- Serenity (In addition to “Serenity” we saw variations such as “Serenity Now!” of Seinfeld fame, as well as clever misspellings including “Sea-Renity”)
- Happy Ours (Time was a common theme in boat names this year. Variations on this boat name included “Happy Hours” and “Happy Hour”)
- Feelin' Nauti (This one surprised us when it rose to the top five, as there are so many other popular boat names that include “Nauti” in the name)
- Family Time (Another variation of the Time theme that we saw again and again. There were many other boat names that referenced Time that came close to the top ten)
- Liberty (Always a favorite, we also saw variations such as Miss Liberty, Lady Liberty, and Liberty Belle)
- Black Pearl (Every boater feels like a pirate sometimes. Just plain “Pearl” was popular as well, but it didn’t crack our top ten)
- Andiamo (Let’s Go! A quick internet search will show you that this is not only a popular name for boats, but also for Italian restaurants in America)
- Knot On Call (Several boat names used the word “Knot” cleverly, but only this one made the top ten)
- High Maintenance (Yes, this describes most boats very accurately)
- Just Chillin (Looks like relaxing is on the mind of even the younger generation of boaters)
There's a fishing boat in Forked River named, "About Flukin' Time".

These names are pretty cool. It just shows that boats and people have a connection with each other. The name Happi Hour is just too good to be ignored.
