Bad Boat Names

Of course, anyone can make up bad boat names.   But, for these, we actually have witnesses.   Perhaps this reveals an underlying prejudice, but the farther we got North and the closer we got to "civilization" the worse the names became.   Perhaps there is a correlation between boat naming taste and the drive to leave familiar shores behind.  It may also correspond to the percentage of power boats, and power boaters.

This is the order observed, not necessarily the order of silliness.
