What did you name your boat?

I'm just a little curious to see what names for all types of watercraft that people have come up with. What kind watercraft do you have? Does it have a "themed" name? Was it one picked at random? Is there a special meaning behind it?

Mine is named...I'll post what it is after I've seen a few responses.

EMT

Update:

My jet ski (don't ask me why I named it) is calledm "Liberty Risk. It's counterpart's name (a shuttle craft) is named Liberty Risk II. Those of you familiar with the Navy know what it means. :)

    It was my dad's boat that I lived on as a teen ...a racing trimaran...called the Tryit...god, that's where I got my corniness from , lol ;)

    It was awesome! Never raced it , but we sailed it alot. And since we lived at the marina I was able to trade my services (ahem, read cleaning boats in friggin February...year round actually , but Feb was the worst) and making sure they were secure in storms...in exchange for all of the free sailing and classes that I wanted on the smaller boats. So, I raced a lido and surfed it ,too...Those were good times!

    "Curmudgeon" All black 35' which terrorized the inland waterway for years. Dad ran a fly-sail business out of NYC. He would fly you out of the city in a 172-then land at the boat and sail you around for the day and have you back in NYC for sunset over the statue.

    "Floor It"

    Although thats the name I dont floor it right outta the channel. I build up to high RPM slowly cause my engine is old and restored and it cant handle that as well as the newer computer driven engines can. My inspiration for this name came from Spongebob Squarepants in boating school. His classic lines:

    Instructor: now spongebob what do you do first?

    Spongebob: ehhh uhhh FLOOR IT?!?!??
