Name the New Memequay Square Stern

[Odyssey]

It's only reasonable that we all offer our proposals for naming Memequay's new canoe build. Isn't it? There's no obligation whatsoever that he adopt our name suggestions, though there's no reason why we should break from tripping tradition and not make him feel like crap for turning down our creative ideas. We all know babies with weird names. What's one more?
So come on. What should we (he) name his new baby square stern canoe?
(Unlike human babies, all new bouncing baby canoes are cute.)

Klikity Klak. His favorite food and the sound his boat motor makes.

Might I interject? Memequay can't suggest names of his own. Not without a good story.
(I'm sure he's loaded with them.)

Depends on how much he has had to drink.

Okay, maybe I'm still under the spell of Ojibway stories, but how about Nokomis?
Could it relate to the Greenstone region and it's cultural beginnings?
Seriously, I wonder if students might have some input? The modern picto artistry rendered on his craft could be cross cultural inspiring.

Or not seriously...Bud.
And if he builds it under 50 pounds, it'll be Bud Lite.

Ha ha ha, what a way to start the morning, some serious laughing. The Nipster sure is good. Me the Nipster and the Ripster all going for an adventure! Bud Lite got me laughing too, but I'm pretty sure it will be Bud Heavy.

Seriously, I'm humbled by your excellent names, and will live with whichever one you guys pick.

(there's always the chance to revive this name which was killed by the British government)

I'm no boat builder but I read your boat building posts (even the post in question and spotlight) like some sort of jealous voyer. The way people here copy boats with fiberglass as if on some sort of magical copy machine--no crap--or construct boats from a sheet of paper and some trees as if from thin air... Christ it's like magic to me. Which necessarily means that I am overly qualified to name boats as sort of an adviser from another dimension. On this site I am quite possibly from the second dimension. In fact, think of me like a stick figure in the 3-dimensional world. I mean, to be able to build my own boat that extends both in front of me and behind me: that is the stuff of which dreams are made. Such that on the flat stern of Mr. Memaquay's boat should be painted the words:

Slim Arrogance

With the new found capacity for mass quantities of Bud Lite, maybe the Tipsy-ster or the Tipster.
