Since none of us are inuit, the" no naming the kayak" thingy sounds kind of
pathetic and weenie like.
Kind of like the guy I met a few years ago on a Production job, that insisted
on talking with an Aussie accent even though he wasn't. He thought women would
find him interesting,  .............. NOT.
This was during the crocodile dundee era, when Dundee  was in vogue.
Trying to follow first nation customs because of some kind of fuzzy warm
spiritual thingamabob seems kind of silly, and sort of embarrassing.
Do what you think is right, and it will be right for you.
I have always enjoyed reading names on canoes and kayaks, many were very
interesting and amusing.
I think you made the right decision.

my 2 cents worth.
