I always thought that would be a good name for a head boat, cause every one I've been on always had about half the people on board blowing chunks...

I have always teased my kids about Aardvarks for some reason I have a thing for them. So my kids have dubbed my boat "The Flying Aardvark" although being Jewish I am leaning towards "The Kosher Aardvark"

After reading one of the other posts, I think I'm now going to name mine "SeaCock" or "Sea Cucumber". Stay calm ladies, there's plenty here for all of you.
Come to think of it, "Truth in Advertising" laws may require me to name it "Half Shaft"
After owning my boat for about 7 years, I decided to name it a week ago. The logos are currently still at the print shop. I thought about an ironic name, but settled on naming it after my favorite animated TV show when I was a kid. My boat is now named Kimba after Kimba The White Lion, a 1966 animated TV show that featured cute characters violently fighting all the time. The name might not be the funniest, but the story behind the show & it's similarities to the Lion King movie is. Kimba & Simba may not look like twins(Kimba was all white except for black ear & tail tips and had blue eyes), but they acted like them, lived in the same place atop the same cliff & had the same jungle friends and (with the exception of the boar & meercat). Even the bad lion with the scarred-over eye is the same(with a different name). Those old enough to remember Kimba The White Lion got a major case of deja-vu watching the Lion King. Seeing my boat should bring back some of those memories.
