What is the name of Brunnen_G's boat? Or has that been established here before...

....which brings to mind a purely strange conversation I overheard between coworkers regarding what a good name for a dog might be. One woman earnestly insisted that boat names would work well for dogs too (we come across a lot of vessel names in our business). I've been mulling this over for a while now and all I could come up with are perhaps Nina or Pinta (but not the Santa Maria). And possibly Bismark for a German Shepard. At the fringe of thought lies naming a dog that would eat anything "Old Ironsides"... Unfortunately the mental link has now been established and when I come across a new vessel name I tend to try it out as a dog name too.
