Narrative:

While loading the SID in the FMC; I inadvertently loaded the canarsie transition instead of the rngrr transition. We had been filed for the breezy point climb. When we flew over the VOR; we took a 176 course instead of a 223 course. ATC then gave us corrective vectors. Since I saw that the SID flew over the cri VOR; I mistakenly thought that the transition in the box was also the canarsie. I did not notice rngrr at the end of the 223 radial. If the name of the climb matched the transition point; it may have helped; ie; rngrr climb; instead of breezy point climb. Then everything would match the box; ie; canarsie climb; canarsie transition; rngrr climb; rngrr transition.

Title: B757-200 FLT CREW ON KENNEDY SID FROM JFK PROGRAMS AND FLIES CANARSIE VICE BREEZY POINT CLIMB AS CLEARED.

Narrative: WHILE LOADING THE SID IN THE FMC; I INADVERTENTLY LOADED THE CANARSIE TRANSITION INSTEAD OF THE RNGRR TRANSITION. WE HAD BEEN FILED FOR THE BREEZY POINT CLIMB. WHEN WE FLEW OVER THE VOR; WE TOOK A 176 COURSE INSTEAD OF A 223 COURSE. ATC THEN GAVE US CORRECTIVE VECTORS. SINCE I SAW THAT THE SID FLEW OVER THE CRI VOR; I MISTAKENLY THOUGHT THAT THE TRANSITION IN THE BOX WAS ALSO THE CANARSIE. I DID NOT NOTICE RNGRR AT THE END OF THE 223 RADIAL. IF THE NAME OF THE CLIMB MATCHED THE TRANSITION POINT; IT MAY HAVE HELPED; IE; RNGRR CLIMB; INSTEAD OF BREEZY POINT CLIMB. THEN EVERYTHING WOULD MATCH THE BOX; IE; CANARSIE CLIMB; CANARSIE TRANSITION; RNGRR CLIMB; RNGRR TRANSITION.
