Yes, yes, yes. I know you're not SUPPOSED to. But do people do it?
Judging by the names of the boats I've seen, I'd have thought it a must.
I couldn't in all decency drive a boat called "Wet Dream" "KeithAnn" or "Overdraft".
Yes I have several times....usually a combination of female kids or grankids names.Judging by the names of the boats I've seen, I'd have thought it a must.

eta drowned to death - only once.
Years ago my mate bought an old steam yacht in a run down state and after getting it back to good condition his wife suggested they name it after her, he didn't want to change the name but acquiesced to her request and dutifully painted the new name on
Seconds after she saw it she went ballistic and demanded that it be removed and named something else, as she would not set foot on it until he had.
He has corrected signed as S.Y Phyllis
He said the smile on his face as he repainted the original name back on was wider than the beam of the yacht

On the subject of unusual boat names, I used to sail into Treguier regularly, and on the town pontoon was a rundown MB named 'Queen Hard'! Never saw it move.
One of the best chuckle names was 'Sir Osis of the River' however I always imagined how that mouthful might be phonetically spelled out to the CG!!

If you do then all I can say don't let your kids choose the new name... 
Peppa Pig??Just got another Floating Money Pit bought and the suggestion was put forward the grandbabies could choose another name for it just like my kids did when we bought the previous one 20 odd years ago. That's definitely not happening.
Unlike the previous FMP that had been through more names than an ISIS freedom fighter when we bought it this one has kept the same from first launch and I'm resolutely and absolutely sticking with that.
