Not wanting to offend a beloved board member, but Salty Dog is a standard. We just got a retreiver and named her "Molly" for short, but her full name is "the unsinkable Molly Boren" Boren being our last name and making a cheap play off the the unsinkable Molly brown as in the titanic fame.

what about Mac? I know, not much flavor, but it is a proper traditional, and strong name........

Hmmm...
"Panama Chuck" a play on panama chock.
"Bullnose"
"Boot-top"
"Three Sheets" (to the wind)
More nautical names could be from famous passages/people like:
"Gibraltar"
"Magellan"
"Columbus"
"Hudson"
"Serapis" - the British ship John Paul Jones defeated after he said "I have not yet begun to fight!"
"Bon Homme Richard" - the ship John Paul Jones was on when he engaged Serapis
"Jonah"
"Davy (Jones)"

We named our dog "Neptune", but he goes by "Tunie".

Ours is named Saylor - but other folks turn around when I'm calling him. He love's the whole sailing scene. A bit large for a boat dog though. I should have had a clue last year when I saw those big puppy feet.
