[Rhodes22-list] boat name

[Mary Lou Troy]

Ok Michael, here's my list. Aeolus (or Aiolos or Aeolos) is good so if you 
like it you might want to stick with it. No one will know how to spell it 
though - that's in keeping I guess.

I've thought of a few other possibilities:
Sounder   (because you sail LIS)
Southwester
Southerly
Harp   (as in Aeolian Harp - an instrument played by the wind - also a good 
beer)
Decoder   (well, you know....)
Magic ring   (ditto...)
Translation
Mademoiselle   (so you can have a French girl to show rummy)
Joker
Too quiet
Intangible
Lucky
AMLANI  (sounds Hawaiian, hope it doesn't mean anything but first two 
letters of your girls names)
AMLANIKA    (sounds Swedish, Finnish or Russian, hope it doesn't mean 
anything and have added the first two letters of Karin's name)
Ringer    (because you boat will not be quite recognizable as a Seaward 26 
and will have folks scratching their heads)
Mystery (ditto)

and my favorite (I actually woke up in the middle of the night laughing 
with this one):
Condensed Sloop


I also did a search for websites about wind - so here are a few where you 
might get more ideas (warning - a lot of these sites seem to be put up by 
new-agey romantics):
http://ggweather.com/winds.html
http://www.soilsci.ndsu.nodak.edu/Enz/ss217/winds.html
http://apdl.kcc.hawaii.edu/~oahu/stories/winds.htm

http://windlegends.org/windnames.htm
http://windlegends.org/windgods.htm
http://www.owlsdottir.com/wind/geolas/Winds.htm
just new-agey but poetic:

and a boat name site you might have missed (with reasons why people used 
those names which might jar something loose)
http://www.redskyatnight.com/boatnames.html


You might ask Karin for something in German that's not too long or hard to 
say on the VHF

Good luck! Hope this helps!

Mary Lou
