| 1507.1 | How about a good Norse name | GYRO::HOLOHAN | | Tue Sep 26 1995 14:42 | 6 |
|
Linda,
This isn't an Irish name, but I've always been partial to "Valhala"
when it comes to naming ships. :-)

|
| 1507.2 | Why Valhala? | POWDML::LREDDEN | | Tue Sep 26 1995 17:19 | 6 |
| Mark, is there a particular reason why you have chosen "Valhala"?
According to the dictionary it is a hall of immortality in which the
souls of warriors slain heroically were received by the god Odin and
enshrined.

| 1507.3 | or a ship that almost passed in the nite ! | STOWOA::COADY | | Tue Sep 26 1995 17:37 | 5 |
|
or a well known ship that was impounded with illegal cargo ?

| 1507.4 | Give us a few clues.... | BRUMMY::BIOTEK::LONERGAN | "Digital PC's it together?!" | Wed Sep 27 1995 08:02 | 10 |

Linda,
Give us some idea of what you're thinking of from an English viewpoint
and we'll try translating it for you...
for instance "Queen of the Sea" would be "Banrion na Farraige" ...I'm sure the
lads in Dublin & Galway offices (both beside the sea) would have a few ideas.

| 1507.5 | ...Clues.... | POWDML::LREDDEN | | Wed Sep 27 1995 12:06 | 10 |
| Hard to answer that since it isn't my boat - but "Queen of the Sea"
is good - except the translation is rather long for the end of boat.
I thought someone may have seen or thought of something appropriate.
The owners are a father and son - they own a heating/air supply
distributorship. They are 1/2 Irish & German. I would think they
would like something cute - a double meaning maybe.
Guess I'm not much help - but that's why I asked you all....
(thanks again!)

How's about using the name of another famous Irish built ship?
I can think of a biggie that sailed from Belfast.
|
| 1507.8 | | POLAR::RUSHTON | | Fri Sep 29 1995 15:04 | 8 |
| ...keeping the Irish/German thread...
How about the name of the German submarine that brought Casement to
Banna Strand?
Was it called the "Ard"?

If you want to be very in, hip, trendy and with it,
how about "Diesel puller"

erm, not wanting to be a pedant or anything (makes a change I suppose!)
but your return address seems to have gone a bit awry...

| My husband (Murphy) and I (Silverstein) used to have a sailboat named
the Irish Bagel. Does that help?
|
| 1507.14 | No, but.... | POWDML::LREDDEN | | Thu Oct 05 1995 16:52 | 4 |
| No, it doesn't help - but it's a GREAT NAME!!! Thanks anyway!!!

| I always liked the name `Red Dwarf', but I'm just a sad SF fan...
Chris.
|
| 1507.16 | Here's a few possibilities | XSTACY::KNEWELL | | Fri Oct 06 1995 13:56 | 40 |
| Here's a few possibilities. The first three are actual names of local Galway
Hookers (traditional wooden sailing boats from Galway and Connemara).
(Now that I think of it, the Happy Hooker might be appropriate ?? :) )
Note I have represented 'fada' characters by a slash after the letter. eg.a/.
A vowel with a fada on top (upward slanting line) is elongated.

| Thanks Linda, glad to be of use. I made one typo (hopefully only
one..) - samradh (summertime) should be spelt samhradh.
