Desperately searching for a name!
I humbly turn to you loyal, intelligent and articulate posters to please help me name my new typhoon. She is a lovely little creature with a name I have no use for. It neither speaks to her or her new owner (me). She is a 1973 which currently sits on her mooring in newburyport, MA. I'm thinking I want something that mentions my passion and profession. Sailing and flying. I don't think I am ready to name her after my wife or two children. though. I know this should be a very personal decision and in the end it will be, but I am really drawing a blank on what speaks to her personality. Any and all ideas will be given consideration. Although I am not able to offer a prize to the one who steers me in the right direction, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you helped match a TY with her personality.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

What's in a name...
Christian,
Our Sea Sprite 23 was immediately named Ariel -- after the sprite in The Tempest and the moon of Uranus which was named after the same... Miranda, our project Typhoon, is named the same way. Ariel is the brightest of the moons while Miranda is described as "curious" with great irregularities. Seemed only appropriate when you see the delamination of her deck! The pram is "Puck".
Lots of other good choices left in the solar system!~ Not exactly flying, but close.
Here are Uranus' moons... Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Cressida, Desdemona, Juliet, Portia, Rosalind, Belinda, Puck, Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon
There's always Jupiter... Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, Thebe
Or Neptune...Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Galatea, Larissa, Proteus, Triton, Nereid And... Charon the moon of Pluto.
I'd pass on Deimos & Phobos the moons of Mars.
Good Luck!

When you think about it, sailing is the same thing as flying except that the wings are vertical, one of them is underwater and they generate lift in opposite directions.Joe CD MS 300 wrote:Water Wing (ditto)
So, "Waterwings" is a great name. It also has a double- meaning which always adds a little panache.

Re: Desperately searching for a name!
One of our local tv personalities is just down the dock from me... also a flyer, he named his boat "Fly Buoy." Not my favorite but it might tickle some thinking.
Whatever you do, make sure you name your boat with appropriate ritual so that it doesn't get cursed or anything. Ranaming is risky business and should be done according to proper process. (And while you may not like the name on your Ty right now, she obviously does, at least a little, or she wouldn't float.)

Fair-weather name
I've always thought "Cirrus" a pretty name for a boat. It's a harbinger of fair weather for sailors, and also, I presume, a friendly cloud for aviators.

Name resources
If you Google "boat names" you'll find several sites that have collected and arranged boat names. These sites will help you avoid common names and might stimulate some thinking about variations on the listed names.

Name idea
"Ala" = wing (Italian)
Relates to your two fields. Simple, easy to pronounce.

boat name
How about "Silver Wings" from the source below I'm sure you and all thoughtful pilots will recognize. It could just as easily be speaking to the freedoms of spreading the canvas as spreading the wings.
High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
