Can I be a judge as this one's great----even if it did take me a few moments to catch on:p

[Guest Martin and Val]

How about "TykeHoon" similar to a typhoon but if caught in one a TykeHoon could race you out of trouble!

Or "TykeClone" as you would be better off in a a TykeClone than a Cyclone.

Or just simply "Tropical Storm"

Good luck Sailor

[Guest sarahsmartiepants]

How about Aussie-Life ?????

Now thats a nice normal suggestion:biglaugh:

I dont think you should call it anything to do with TYKE as you will have nutters coming up to you at the boat ramp asking "are you Tyke off PIA?"

[Guest graandjac]

[Guest soggy]

[Guest dunnarunna]

ive only just came across this thread and all i can say is great minds think alike as i was going to suggest OLYVE too, because of the olive oil connection. (i spelt with a y to be different it would look better in loopy signwriting with an olive branch on the boat too!)

donna

[Guest Martin and Val]

Here's another one:

 

"Pomaussie"

We're all Poms and soon to be Aussie's so it does have a ring to it.

[Guest Guest75]

 

Thanks for all of your suggestions so far.

 

Today is boat test day.

 

The dealer is taking us out for an hour or so to get the feel of he/she/it before we stump up the cash.

 

I was hoping for some choppy weather to test in and Mrs Tyke wanted flat calm - we have Mrs Tyke's weather today.

Have to do a few hard turns back on myself then:arghh:

[Guest the staffords]

best name i ever saw for a boat was "cirrhosis of the river"...on a house boat down at hindmarsh island....have a great day you lot.

[Guest grantanddebs]

"lady argus"

 

looked up tyke on wikipedia and it mentioned some high jumper called tyke peacock. so looked up peacock and it said Argus peacock.

 

mmmm..... :jimlad:

 

(also loads of cool greek mythology meaning too, like giant with 100 eyes!! lol)

[Guest NikNrich]

Hi Tyke,

 

after many seconds of deep thought I have to offer:

 

"White Rose"

Fits all criteria: yorkshire roots, easy to spell & (most importantly) Girly!

Great stuff so far - keep em' coming.Thanks for all the effort and imagination.

We've just signed up for her/him/it today after a terrific test on the water.

Mrs Tyke was really pleased so that's half the battle.

We have 4 weeks to delivery now so a bit of time yet.

 

I did note someone pointed to my musical roots in this thread;)
