Big and small, power or sail, there are many different kinds of boats and so many different kinds of boat owners. But the one thing they seem to agree on is how boating makes them feel, at least if your looking at a boat\u2019s name on the transom. \u201cSerenity\u201d has been named the #1 boat name for the second year in a row with the release of the 2015 list of Top Ten Boat Names<\/span> from Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS). It is also the name\u2019s tenth appearance on the popular list of boat names issued annually since 1992 by the recreational boat advocacy, service and safety group. \u201cCalm, peaceful and untroubled is what boating is all about for so many boaters,\u201d said BoatUS spokesman Scott Croft.<\/p>\n

Croft says boaters frequently come to BoatUS to get ideas for a name by taking a peek at the Association\u2019s online list of over 8,000 boat names, then use the free and easy layout program to, \u201cStart playing around with a boat name to get an idea of what it will look like, picking letter styles and colors.\u201d Boaters can then choose to either order online or if they want some more creative help, may use the BoatUS Premium Boat Graphics service that offers the talents of a professional designer. An online photo gallery can also help boaters also narrow down a choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cPicking a boat name can be harder than naming one\u2019s own child,\u201d said Croft, who has had to name several of his boats through the years. \u201cBoat names can reflect your lifestyle, your relationship to loved ones or what you do for a living. And that\u2019s only the beginning.\u201d For the record, Croft\u2019s first boat name was \u201cConstitution\u201d because, \u201cWe happened to name her on a July 4th<\/sup><\/span> weekend and I had only a limited choice of ugly hardware store letters.\u201d For his second boat name, Croft chose \u201cAiden R.\u201d after his only son and used the BoatUS graphics service.\u00a0 \u201cKids sometimes think it\u2019s pretty cool to have their name on a boat. It\u2019s also a real safe bet for parent to choose \u2013 but only if you have one child,\u201d he said with a smile.<\/p>\n
