Public Vote for the new CalMac ferries from Skye to North Uist and Harris

Disappointed Ferry McFerryface, Kiltyseasurfer, or Floatinonthebigbluewetthing were not mentioned

I'd also wondered about betterlate thannever...

It was an interesting conundrum- whether to go for beloved historic names from David MacBrayne days or to go for Gaelic names (given that all ship names have gaelic translations on board anyway), or for less well known landmarks.
It was the same difficult choice earlier in the year for the new Islay ferries.

I've firmly gone for the MacBrayne's heritage names. It will be interesting if the majority go for the English (like on Islay, where the obvious and a less well known landmark were chosen) or the more arguably inclusive gaelic options.

What fun! I voted for my choice (I'm assuming it's legal - there was no mention of a UK residency requirement). 😊

If the Royal Air Force can let the public name their new submarine spotting plane, then the ferry company should do the same.

Of course, not everyone has a sense of humor.

Transport Scotland has names for a lot of the gritters on the main roads.
