    i m sure finding a name for your boat is hard as finding a suitable boat. thats why i want to hear some names of ur boats or the names you would give if u buy a new boat or `if you had a chance` what would you change ur boat name into? :rolleyes:

    for inspirations: my new boat will be 40feet, cruising aegean sea sailing boat

    As you are living in Istambul, I offer you a Portuguese word that has an Arabic origin, a poetic one: OXALÁ
    Nowadays means "a wish that something good happens", but without any religious conotation, a sort of "if god wills", leaving god out of it.
    The origin?: Inch Alla (the south of Portugal was Muslim land for 600 years).
