#42It's like vanity license plates but with even less constraints... "Unsinkable II".

People think lots of things are good boat names. There's no reason there couldn't have more than one Unsinkable that hadn't sunk, and most boats aren't retired by sinking, so Unsinkable II would fit right in.
Parent reply is actually way funnier and more original than the GP, which has already been repeated by two other posters.

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
Oh interesting, I didn't know that. It's an even older name than I thought!
And the actual word is French too...
...although the French spell it with an extra "r". And they had more ships that were named Entreprenant(e) (Enterprising) than Entreprise...

#47My boat's called Floating Point :)
If I had a boat I would totally steal that (and wait for other nerds to strike up conversations).

#49The "Boat ownership by income" is interesting, although easy to misread at a glance. 7% of boat owners earning under $25k is of course very different from 7% of people earning under $25k owning a boat. I'd love to see an actual chart of boat ownership at income levels, it would read quite differently I'm sure.
The other challenge I assume is that many boat owners are retired and presumably have little or no taxable income

#50The categorization could use some work. "Comanche" shows up under mythology, for example.
