Is there a historical "norm" to naming yachts.

I heard that traditionally it was "First daughter's given name; second daughter's middle name". ie. MARY JANE

Most boats do have female names.

This pre-supposses that you have children, daughters, etc. but I am curious as to the history of boat names, and in fact why the practice even arose.
