I name this ship... RRS Boaty McBoatface

[PeteXXX]

Us public are getting the chance to vote for a name for a new scientific research vessel.

Presently, RRS Boaty McBoatface is leading in the polls.

Can't wait until Her Majestyness cracks a bottle of bubbly on the sharp end and says "I name this ship Boaty McBoatface, and gawd blessher and anyone who sails in her"

It might be a coincidence but the online name voting web page isn't working at the moment....

What a great name. I expect the kill-joys will find a way to get RRS David Attenborough (nothing wrong with that per se, given his lifetime involvement with nature and research) as the 'suitable' name.

I tried to vote, but the site is 'temporarily unavailable' - yeah, sure.

Call it "Me".

Love to see Her Maj saying "And I name this ship "Me", God bless Me and all who sail in Me"

There's also RRS Mostly Harmless. Either would (genuinely) be a great name.

I like Culture ship names, but for naming pretty much anything I like Pratchett's "Your Finger You Fool".

Their website has collapsed under the strain - I really want to vote for this!

And that, boys and girls, is why you don't ask the public to name things. Come up with a list yourselves and put that to a public vote instead.
