***SPOLIER ALERT AHEAD!!!***
Now, I'm looking for input on a name for a certain ship ...
Or is it really a spoiler? People have been expecting it since chapter 12 ...
So Chekhov's ship is going to FINALLY come back into play! That's right, Domenic is going to go back to the Wind Runner!
Now, a mechanic I've used in Seaborn is having ships Domenic claims be renamed; sometimes with sinister sounding names but that was primarily in the darker phase of the book (that downward-spiral-which-shall-not-be-named-but-shall-be-rewritten...eventually). Other names (e.g. Dark Raven, Internment) aren't necessarily evil-sounding but are still intense.
I have no idea what the Wind Runner should be renamed.
Okay, I've got ideas, but I don't like them. So please, go to the comments and give me your best ideas! In return, I'll give you praise, credit, you'll have the satisfaction of reading a name that doesn't suck, and best of all: you won't be stuck waiting while I try to get my mind over this roadblock! :)

If Dom uses the ship to pursue a vendetta against the people who gave the order to sink it, it could be called something with "Storm" in it. Because "he who sows wind, harvests a storm". Combining this with my previous suggestion would lead us to Storm Caller or Stormbringer.

Maybe showcase the difference in his social position and magical might. For me Wind Runner sounds like somebody who wants to take advantage of a natural phenomenon and run with a tailwind. Nothing special, just smart. That was the Dominic of the past. With his saved up skills and planned life. Now he is in charge of his own destiny and goes against established conventions and authorities with the power of the sea. I'd go for Tide Caller to mirror the previous two words but more active and commanding. Maybe Tidebringer has a better ring to it? I guess it also depends on the ships role. If its his flagship it needs a more noble or imposing name. I also like rrrig's "Second Wind" since this is Doms second chance at life.

If you're wanting more of a lighter name maybe Second Wind, Sailor's Redemption, or Current of Change?

Tempest is the first name that came to me for a ship with a turbulent past
