What's in a Name

Our boat is going to have a name change, from Thursday's Child of Lee to Duamara.
Firstly because TCL is a bit of a mouthful, so after much discussion Duamara was agreed on, the name is from the Assam tea plantation in India where Mrs DIY grew up, the plantation was cut out of the jungle after WW2 by her father and managed until his retirement in about 1965, when they returned to England to play 'golf'.
The tea company that he worked for was called James Warren, who I think are still in existence.
