Ouch!!! But seriously, last summer we checked back into the States coming from Sydney, Vancouver Island and when I gave the boat's name to the customs agent he did a double take and said, "Oh really, that boat has been a very bad boy." Turns out customs was looking for a very large and fast power boat of the same name. Made me pucker up until he smiled and "you don't fit the description".

The Hong Kong commercial vessel made me laugh out loud.
Is that a real photo or was it "photo-shopped" ?

It purports to be real. Of course, I found it on sailinganarchy.com, so who knows. Apparently, there are Titans for each planet name

Best boat name I've ever seen was on the transom of really big, tricked out Viking sports fisherman......"Thanks Dad".

While sailing from Catawba to South Bass island in Lake Erie Linda and I were passed by a big really big cigarette boat with MALE TOOL painted on the side.

at the same moment both of us held up our fingers as if to measure one inch. We had such a laugh over that, a boat that big with that name had to be over compensation.
