RE: [Paddlewise] Naming your boat

I did pick out a name for my Necky Tornak. It was a neat little name I
picked out driving the kayak home. However, after the trip I forgot the name
I chose, and now just call it, "The Tornak."

Who here has named their kayak?

I know it is a tradition for large ships to be named, but I know that
some owners of dingies name their craft.  I haven't heard about or seen
a named kayak, but I know there are people who are especially fond of
their own boat.  How is the experience of owning a large boat versus a
small one different?  What leads one to name something perhaps has to do
something with price or personal investment.  Or uniqueness.  But, I
know people who name their cars, although they are far from unique.
