The final word about Boaty McBoatface goes to Guardian letter writer Kathleen O’Neill, who suggests that the whole problem could be solved by David Attenborough changing his name to Boaty McBoatface.
Why didn’t I think of that?

Maybe if enough people start calling him Boaty McBoatface, he will ask them to change the boat’s name. Note: this might be how revolutions start.

He’s actually, I think, Sir David Attenborough, if you go in for that sort of thing. Which would make him Sir Boaty McBoatface, thank you very much.
I expect you’re right about the revolutions. I feel this gathering power even as I type.

Sigh. *shakes head sadly*
We expected more from you, David.
