Naming of the new-to-us ferry

Since 1971, the Princess of Acadia has sailed between Saint John and Digby.  One of many bearing Princess or Prince in their names since Canadian Pacific had the route.

Is it time for a new name?  Since 1963, there has been two vessels named "Princess of Acadia" plying the Bay of Fundy between Digby and Saint John. It almost wasn't. The current Princess was going to be named "Princess of New Nova" but it never happened. It carries the name of her predecessor. Currently, her eventual replacement is temporarily named Canada 2014 for her delivery voyage from Greece and its appearing there will be a naming contest or poll happening in the near future. These are some of my ideas: (breaking from Canadian Pacific tradition by the way) Fundy Spirit, Pride of Fundy, Fundy Adventure, Fundy Vision. (Now, for a name somewhat with CP tradition) Fundy Princess.                                        

Note: these are only a few of my ideas on a name for the new ferry and no suggestions. If any of the names above is picked for the vessel, it will be by coincidence.
