 Help me!  I need a clever name for this anchor!  All ideas welcome.  It’s a Fortress 37 (spade anchor).  Or doesn’t have to be a people name. https://i.nostr.build/wGRDl.jpg  
 Davey, you could tell people it’s short for Davey Jones - but secretly it’s really just Davey 
 My first thought was David Spade, because the generic name for the design design is called a “spade anchor.”  But that’s lacks a flare.

 I came here to write this name. 
I see you 🫂 
 fiat, tax, I'll actually leave this to those who are more clever and creative than I am.  
 Here are my incoherent suggestions.

Macy
Stuart
Rocky Bottom
Gold Digger
Timespade
Hold the Fort!
Ricky
Airdrop 
 Manta
Sting

Cause it kinda looks like a manta ray. 
 “Mantis” is a name brand for a different style.  Keep the ideas flowing. 
 Well there are the Bitcoin/Nostr influencers

 I was thinking about calling it CSW because, it’s going down! 
 Could call it doge or eth for the same reason. Dollar, fiat, titanic, fed, ordinal, nft 
 It deserves a name worth of respect.  I’m going to trust it with my life, literally! 
 Bob is a man I respect very much. Him and his buddy, Alice. 
 Short, sweet, one syllable, doesn’t sound like anything else on the boat. I like it. One question. Who is Sam Spade? 
 Seed phrase, ledger, Jade, bitbox, coldcard, Trezor

For things that commonly end up underwater.

Loan, mortgage, debt. 
 Dudley 
 Myself  
 Epstein  
 Because it don’t kill itself! 
 Because it didn't hang itself  
 Duncan (the water) 
 Bruce, just to confuse other sailors. 
 “Bruce” is the name brand for a claw anchor. 
 Ron Burgundy. Best anchor name ever. 
 That’s a good one! 
 Sam (Spade) 
 Steve Erwin 
 This has my voat 
 sol (as in fortress of solitude) 
 Solitude!  I’d hate for it to be confused with a shitcoin! 
 "the Captain" so you can say "throw the Captain overboard!"  
 I’m the captain!  There will be no throwing the captain overboard!!! 
 Ok fine then, "Mutineer"  
 Also, no mutiny!  Visits to the boat require round trip airfare to be purchase before arrival. 
 Okay "A Deuce" it is!

 name it scumbois 
 Sam.    what else 
 Stacy / StaySea, obviously. 
 That’s clever!  The Fortress’s shank was too big for the bow roller.  So I have a new new anchor. A Rocna 20.  Staysea is at the top of the list for new new anchor names. 
 Kyōtetsu  -  meaning "Strong Iron" 
 I named it Little Tokyo. 

That’s a funny pfp!  You got me.  I tried to smash the bug.
