You could name it Beleriand. ^_^

Too bad we don't have names for Bombadil's boat, or for the Elvish boats
the Fellowship used.

Or what about 'Starwards' (Elenna) or 'The Gift' (Andor -- without the
'Land of' part) . . .

Though it might of course be seen as a bit unfortunate to name a boat
after the Downfallen

One might also go for something a bit less known -- one of Aldarion's
ships, for instance: the Númerrámar (the West-wings), the Eämbar, or
the Palarran (the Far-wanderer).

On the other hand, I would say that Alcarondas (Ar-Pharazôn's great
ship in which he sailed against Aman) would be out of the question --
for me at least.

One could, of course, also follow the long tradition of giving a ship a
woman's name, which ought to give lot of extra possibilities.

This isn't right. This isn't even wrong.

Then the sister ship should be called Númenor, I suppose.

Crú.

That would be "anna" (see Appendix E).

Well, if you don't know Quenya, "Anna" looks quite innocent

Or one could do both at once

How about the "Eärendil" for the mariner?
