Nope. I can only remember naming one of my solo canoes - a very ugly, multi paint layered and scratched up Curtis Lady Bug, which I named Ugly Bug.
Ugly has feelings tooā¦
These are great ideasāthanks to everyone who has commented so far about how to actually put the name onto your boat.
Iām planning to use an Inuit word as my kayakās name, and Iām wondering if any of the companies youāve listed could do Inuktitut lettering. Long shot I expect, but in a world of a thousand fontsā¦

Did think time to time to named it but really couldnāt come up with the good name

Do you name your kayak like people do with their boats? If so, what is the name?
Well! Thinking about it, its kinda good idea to name the kayak, what would be your guyās suggestions?
Iāve said this elsewhere, but kayaks are people too. Mostly people donāt run around with name tags on. A proper introduction to our kayak should be all that is needed, rather than an overt label on the bow.
My kayaks have female names:
Sedna for the Explorer
Lucia for the Looksha IV
Salacia for the Capella 163
I often paddle solo i.e. just with the kayak ā¦ and talk to the kayak. It is more polite to address the kayak by name rather than saying āHey you.ā
Only when I am mad at it !
Yes I have:
The Sea Pig - Wilderness systems freedom, a previous Tarpon 160 had the same name
The fishing Pig - Native Redfish 14
Banana Lightening - Modified Cobra ExpeditMiion
White lightening - Epic V7 with outrigger
the touring barge - Mirage Sea Kayak
the surf smasher - Cobra Revision 133
We have two. Named 'The solo" and " the tandem". Heady stuff.
Donāt own a kayak, but I had one canoe I named.
It was a Mohawk Probe 12 II: I had loads of fun in that boat.
The āPurple Hazeā is picturedā¦

Of course, I had a Pink kayak, after 5 years, I gave ot away to some one who did not have one and was interested in joining the club, her name was āPInkyā with Pinky from Pinky and the Brain stenciled on it, several member of the club said, The World was going to end!
