what's in a boats name

i finally decided to name my boat kayalila. How did this happen? Well I always liked lila but somehing was missing. Then last week R. who builds the boat alongside said my boat looked like kayalitsha (refering to the torn tarpaulin over her that gave her something of a shantytown look). I liked the name which means 'new home' but not quite. Then H. suggested i just name her Kaya and this I liked too but it's a bit too common. But then the idea came to me to merge Kaya with Lila and so have the home of play, or enlightened play or body/form of play or sweet mary jane lila or rich and creamy divine play :o or in Japanese, summer night of
Lila.

Hey kaya, nala pasa kaya
Hey kaya, nala pasa kaya
