Suggestions for names would be appreciated... My orange Avocet was named Belle. I am leaning toward something Irish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gcosloy Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Considering your choice of font colors I'd have to say why not "Dunkin"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billvoss Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Check here for just about every Irish female name in existence: http://www.babynamesofireland.com/irish-girl-namesNiamh niamh “radiance, lustre, brightness.” The daughter of the sea god Manannan she was known as “Niamh of the Golden Hair,” a beautiful princess riding on a white horse. She fell in love with Fionn’s son Oisin (read the legend of Niamh and Oisin) and lived with him in Tir-na-nOg (“Land of the Young”) (read the legend) where 300 years passed in what seemed like three weeks. In 2003 it was the eleventh most popular baby girl’s name in Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancysan Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I've always liked the name Nuala, and here is the description, which sounds quite appropriate for the white beauty: It is really a shortened version of Fionnuala (see Fionnuala above) and in Ireland it is more widely used than Fionnuala. Meaning “fair shouldered, exceptionally lovely,” the name has been in existence since the 13th century.Also, Nuala reminds me of Nautical... ENJOY your new babe!

You're a redhead and it isn't Irish, but the "Blonde Bombshell" would be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put my "virgin" Surge in at Ipswich this past weekend and it was a very good experience. No need for skeg, responded well to all inputs. Hope your new boat does as well.

Lallen Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 ...except when Emilie is busy punching holes in the glass. Good point, Tyson! Guess that's when we could all use another boat, eh? The glass one for many conditions, and the plastic for rock play! Then again, glass boats are made so they can be repaired, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
