I got 'stripe' from priest, but couldn't think of anything good for 'island'! - however I did wonder if 'Eilean an Naomh' might be the original used?

Edit - mind you - should have checked first - took that from memory, might actually be something else for Priest Island

I thought it had more of a ring to it than "spinster laid" or "split sardine"

The (ahem) síneadh fada can be used on Ribnet too! - "Lóchrann" - Guiding Light or Lantern. Great name btw My wee pet's name is an Anglicization of a very old Gaelic term.

Not really a name but.....

In the past I had a saying on the side of my boat that I may transfer to the new boat.

Upside down it read;

"If you can read this, CALL FOR HELP!!"

It sure did get a lot of laughs!

Slightly off topic but when we were getting a new Atlantic our old one went back to Cowes with "PTO" wrote on the bottom. Apparently Cowes ILC never saw the funny side!

Back to names I'm thinking of Asen for my SR4 as its Welsh for RIB.... I think?
