I am in Racine WI. which is on Lake Michigan...back in the day...long time ago..
21' - Bayliner W/ Aft Cabin (fiberglass) = "Home Away From Home" ...later...
30' - Bayliner w/ Flybridge (fiberglass) = "Summer Home"...
Now...
16' - Smoker Craft Magnum (Aluminum) = "Got Er Done"
18' - Crestliner Side Consol - v-hull (Aluminum) does not have a name...to be for sale soon...
14' - Monark 1444 Mod V (Aluminum) = "Get Er Done"
 
I am thinking about a couple possibilities for the 20 footer when I get it built.

Metaling Around. Most saltwater bay boat/inshore boat owners have some sort of pun in the name (a couple I have seen are Reel Man, Reel Jerk, Playing Hooky etc), so this would fit right in.

The other one I am currently thinking of would be Lucky 13. Why? 13 is the atomic number of aluminum, so it would just be fitting. Of course, few people would actually get that one without me explaining it, save for the random chemist, or person real interested in metal boats/metallurgy.
 
SS Contrabass

I'm a music teacher and focused on low brass (bass) instruments in school (tuba, baritone, trombone). Still play a lot. A witty, musician friend of mine unknowingly named it that when he called as we were bringing it home.

I recently saw a boat named "Empty Pockets". I am also trying to figure a name for my 1236. I thought of "Ishmael" but my partner suggests "Little Dipper"

Good - "Ishmael" brings up some bad images - **** writers!
 
My dad used to have a little 10-foot jon boat many years ago. He was so proud of that boat that he named it after my mom (first name only) and painted the name on the bow--Helen Highwater. True story, actually.
 
If I were going to use a fictitious woman's name it'd be "Enola Gay" Old guys will know who she was.

My 14' jon would be Tin Whizzie.

the Sears aluminum V would tip so easy the kids named it "Titanic"

In High School I had an old Cedar skiff painted an ugly brown. My buddies named "thunder lizzard"
