Boaty McBoatface

Where did this xxxxx mc xxxxxx thing source from? Hearing it everywhere

A month or so ago one team in work could think of a new team name as servers and infra were joining, they were thinking of the name infra mc serverface :D where did it start?

Boaty mcboatface is a good one though :)
 
I suspect that it will be referred to as Boaty by everyone for years to come and the official name will just be what's painted on the side and the paperwork.

Naming it after one of our still-alive national treasures is a pretty sensible move. You can't diss David Attenborough without look like a complete thing that rhymes with anchor.

I'm actually quite surprised they did name it after someone still alive. He was in the top 5 votes so it's not like the naming commission just disregarded everything. The best name of the 5 I think.

I think not naming it Wolsley was a good call, he's only just died and would have been so named because he was in the paper a few months before.

Mcboatface is definitely going to be its unofficial name however. I'm betting thats what all the crew, researchers and many newspaper article headlines will call if not a long time to come...:p
