It's how you look at a name...that gives it meaning.

The name of my sailboat is, “Geronimo.” The killing of Bin Laden was code name Geronimo. The American Indians are protesting the Government linking the name of Geronimo to a mass murderer.

My sailboat was built in 1968. The last owner left her to rot some ten years ago. When I first saw her, I fell in love with the old gal. She was dancing along side the dock like a puppy in a pound. Half hidden under moss, dirt, broken, and rotted parts…she was still alive. I named her after a great man who never gave up…“Geronimo.” I bought her, and moved her under power to Martinez. For the last 16 months I have been rebuilding her. Soon she will be ready for sea.
This past week when the American Indians broadcast their protest, I asked myself if I should change her name? No, no, and no. It’s a fitting name.
I’m sure whoever in the Government applied it to the code name, meant the U.S. Government, like, Geronimo, would never give up.

Domenic,
can't wait to see the photos. I would think you have a "before" photo that will show the change in the finished product.

Geronimo it is.
