If you do rename her, don't forget the offering or it might come back to haunt ya.

The offering, eh? I'd heard the ritual about sailing the boat backwards during your renaming ceremony but not about shaving my leg with my wife's razor.

Great link
Some say that when a boat is named it has been enlivened, and from that time on the vessel must be treated with the same respect that we would have for a person.
And why I'm perfectly happy to keep the name as is until SHMBO says otherwise.
