Rayse or Peter.

Did the boat that ferried the dead across the river Styx (made fron the fingernails of the dead) have a name?

 

[KYenglish]

Maybe I took a swig of the lethe but I don't remember a name for it,

Lethe aside, I think Charon is originally sailing the river Acheron (rive of sorrow, in Homeric hymes it's the river of hades) and Dante follows that and names Phlegyas, (guy who burned down one of Apollos temples), as the ferryman over the Styx.

Never heard it described by name only that it was a skiff or a boat - some write "roomy" others write that it was so small that the fees was only one coin.

First thing that came to mind is Squirt. I also like Nug. Dart is close enough.

Pooka is too similar sounding to Puukko. Very different blade shapes.
