Publisher's Synopsis
An entertaining compendium of names, Let's Name It is a convenient prompter for any stymied boat owner. Seventeen chapters of alphabetically arranged names include themes such as early tradition and superstition, navigational stars, feminine influence, and word puns. Corcoran and Hackler offer excellent advice on the search for an appropriate name and lettering style. Tripple Effect, Stasea, Fearless Fosdick, Norse Maiden, Providence . . . The names are all here--10,000 of them-- and the wonder is that no one ever collected them before.

What's in a name? A lot, say the authors of this book.
Modern psychology would agree that the time and energy we invest in naming people, things, or boats, can often give clues into the personality, lifestyles, and values of the people doing the naming.--John T. Thios, Associate Professor of Psychology, Richard Bland College of The College of William and Mary; and sailor.
