For whimsical boat names it would be hard to beat one I saw during my first season sailing on a local lake. It took up the entire side of the boat and was, "For whom the belle toils." I've not seen it since so perhaps the belle was laid off.
My boat's sail number is P16 and is intentionally misleading. She is a Precision 165 but the makers wanted to preserve the fiction that the type could be docked at a 16 foot marina slip despite having an actual length of 16' 5". Hence P16 rather than P165. BTW, her name is Fiona and she wasn't named after the character in Shreck.
