libertyshiplad:
Does anyone have a name that for some reason stands out,or is always remembered ?
Mine is "Tropical Morn",conjures up an atmosphere so well.
Or the other extreme-"Time is Money" !!

Kyle Stubbs:
A personal favorite for me has always been the 2002-built bulker CRUX, or more specifically, it's original name of FRAGRANT ISLAND. Though, the yacht DUMB LUCK cuts a close second.

Other names I have seen such as WIDE CHARLIE, NEW HISTORY and MORNING NINNI have been on the amusing side as well.

Kind Regards,
Kyle
