My brother is in the process of buying a new Leopard 444 and needs ideas for boat names. He is a big Jimmy Buffet fan and a Cubs fan. Me being a deadhead have come up with Ripple. Any ideas? Names he has thought of already... Fins Up, Come Monday, Let's Play Two...

I love the song "Manana" by JB. And the song is all about the BVI's. Or Gypsy's Palace would be fun.

BuffetT ( two TT's not warmed up food!)My next boat will be "Calypso DeSoto" just 'cos I love the way it sounds.Jimmy himself likes " Hemisphere Dancer" for one of his ( plane or boat..not sure),"Groovy" for his racing boat in St Barth's..I like " Weather is here.."but you could name it after his daughter " Savannah Jane"..Jimmy would like that."Continental Drifter 3" is the name of his current cruising motor yacht we see down here every now and then..and out at Anegada when Jimmy is bone fishing..

"Manana" is a great name since that song references the BVI in several places.
"Parrot Head" is also good, albeit overused.
"Field of Dreams" as a baseball reference (with a Cubs logo).
"Let's Play Two!" is an old Ernie Banks quote.

Hemisphere Dancer is Buffett's plane. I would be careful using his copyrighted stuff. He's been known to sue pretty freely. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
Kidding .... but only slightly.

Jimmy's proclivity for legal action has always made me a little uncomfortable ... and tarnished his image and music in my eyes. The 'locals' in Key West have VERY few kind things to say about him.
I always enjoy his music (the more obscure stuff is preferred). His music represents freedom and paradise for lots of people. I just can't help believing much of it is contrived at this point. Manufactured corporate music.

Think "Cats [censored]" would look appropriate on the stern.

We REALLY came close to two names for our boat. Further and BOB (yes my name is robert) and what do you do in a boat.... but settled on Hallucinations.
It is a really hard decision process.
To add: I get quite a few people taking pictures of my car at stop lights as well. EFF OIL on Chesapeake bay plates

Whatever you name the boat please try to come up with a name that means something to more than 3 people, as well as a name that can be understood on the vhf!!!!! Nothing worse than you telling someone your clever boat name and they give you that blank stare.....
It's not what you've got, it's what you give, it's not the life you choose, it's the life you live.

Manpot said: Our paths have crossed a few times..he is a very smart businessman who also realises how lucky he is and really seems to appreciate his fans and his success.He also seems to really enjoy the lifestyle he sings about..accomplished sailor, decent surfer..loves the beach life. Having covered Hollywood for more than three decades he is far from being an arrogant celeb like many, many others..just my two cents.. I'll defer to you Mal. You do have a personal relationship with him. My connection is through personal stories from locals at places I've visited (and a few media articles through the years). From 10,000 ft, he seems to go to great lengths to protect his brands from some very very small people. The price of maintaining an empire, I suppose.

I do like China Cat, if I were a cat guy.
When we started to name boats, we tried to go to sites and google names. I really did not want to have a name others had.
there is always the bear references you could try. Thinking of naming my dingy "gummy bear"
When we had the relabeled Fruitcakes (minus the S) we named our dingy... Lemmiwinks
sorry folks <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

I like China Cat too but I'm the deadhead not him. He's more sold on Cubs or Jimmy Buffett. The top runners right now are... 1. Back in a Minute or Knee Deep (from a Zach Brown song featuring JB) 2. Let's Play Two 3. The Last Resort (the name of our family cottage in Wisconsin that was built by our grandparents)
Right when we think it is narrowed down someone comes up with a new one... Pier Pressure Bob (our dad is named Bob)
