If these are dad jokes, what would a funny name that isn't a "dad joke" be like?

I'm not sure it's possible to humorously name a boat without getting punny in the dad way.

Unless it's a yacht or some other super expensive kind, then you can do villainous puns in stead like naming it what less egotistical people could have spent the money on, I guess 🤷

"College Fund" would be an example of BOTH simultaneously IMO

I guess you could also give it a Gen Alpha slang name that someone old enough to be a dad is too old to understand.

Like, call the boat "Low Key Salty". Simultaneously a play on words and Gen Alpha slang. Best if used for an ocean-going boat docked in the Florida keys.
