Depends whether you are superstitious or not.
I've changed the name of a couple of boats, with no ill effects, unless that's why I don't always catch fish!!!

It is OK as long as you have the original name still on the boat somwhere, like under a seat. Otherwise bad things might happen.

We lived on boat for a short time a few years ago. We wanted to change the name but we were "warned" not too by the old boys on the marina. I'm not supersticious but the wife is. We ended up just adding the new name as a type of "tag line" along side the old name.
I've also heard that painting a boat green is bad luck?
Doesn't mean anything to me, as said above it just depends how supersticious you are.
