Opinion on boat name..

[Craig]

We have wanted to name the boat since we brought it home last year, but could never come up with a name that we all like or that had some meaning. I looked up several boat names with a law enforcement reference but couldn't find anything that wasn't overtly related. Anyway, my son came up with a name(and many others ) and I'm asking you guys for your honest input on the name..

"Jet Black"...our boat is a black AR240..

So, what are your honest thoughts?

Sounds good to me and if it gets your son excited about taking Jet Black out for a spin even better.

Usually a good boat name has more than one meaning. Yours does this. Color of the boat and jet powered. It works for me. I give it a

I agree, multiple meanings and family involvement. I have named two of these Yamahas and each was a challenge. I have also had plenty of input from the forum on both too! I can tell you that in both situations, the name was there at the start, I just needed to hear all variations and other ideas to know it was a good name. Here are a few to compare against...
Knight Rider
Dark Horse
Black and White
Dark Knight
Miranda
Protect and Serve

I like the idea of going with whatever the kids pick (within reason). It gives them a sense of pride in the participation. If they chose "Rainbow Sprinkles" as a name I might try and steer them in a different direction though But in your case, I think "Jet Black" is pretty cool.

My youngest wanted to name it "Modern Warfare" , and he said we could "put camo stickers on it" . It took awhile to explain how that might not be a good idea.

Thanks for the input, and I think everybody's right. I didn't think it was cheesy, but it was my kid that came up with it so I might be a little biased. Just needed to hear everyone else's unbiased opinion.

No, gotta stay kid friendly and appropriate.

Go with the kid's idea. It will mean the world to him.

If the wife vetoes it then I vote Shenanigans.

I like it! Go with your sons idea. My daughter named ours as well. She was very proud of herself and us of her.
