1. Names of the women in the life of the owner or his view of women:
Miss Behave, Høna (The Hen), Sexbomb.
2. Names indicating the financial status of the owner, or lack of such:
Gjelda mi (My debt), Il Conto Gigante, Plenty of Gold
3. Names indicating ambitions, tempo and quality, or lack of such:
Pomp&Øs (play with the words pompeous and Pump and Empty, in Norwegian), Piece of Cake,
Off Course, Ca. Halvveis (Around Halfway)
4. Names indicating the place of the boat in the owner's life or the place of the owner in his own life:
Time out, Lazy Days, Smake av Honning (Taste of Honey), Yes Yes.
Last but not least, a sailboat with the name Don't Panic, written upside down!
