Help name me Long Boat

[Bully MacGraw]

All the naming quest continues!

I thought of An Long which means "the boat". An long Eamonn which translates to "Ed's Boat. Selkie sounds nice.

[Deacon Frye]

I like Selkie, too.

Although it meant seal in the Orkney dialect, it was much more than that. The Selkie, or Silkie folk lived in the depths, but could shed their sealskins and come on shore in human form, where they, ahem, had relations with the land folk. Known also in the Hebridies and Shetlands, where there were variations, they had their sinister side as Fin folk.
