More new ferries = new names needed.

There is a pub round here at Shave's Thatch, used to be called the Shaves Thatch, and rechristened to the Shaved Snatch amongst some. Now that it's been renamed the Ginger Fox, that same group of schoolboy-humoured adults call it the Ginger Minge. (and before the accusations of misogyny - my wife and friends have shortened it to The Minge)
What could go wrong with naming the Little Minch ferries......or is that too juvenile?

Edit: Shame - looking at the survey they've done their scenario planning and you can only vote on a short list 🙁

hmm, two vessels you say? Well then, I'd go for:

Ultimate ship the first.

Ultimate ship the second

And, frankly, there is a very rich vein of other culture ship names to mine for this one

The proper name for Grey Area would be an interesting name for a ferry. Alas, it's not on their predefined list.
