Boaty McBoatface

Etymology
as a jocular response to an online poll held by the British government to name a new polar research ship. Despite the fact that "Boaty McBoatface" won decisively, receiving 33% of the overall vote (over three times as many as the second most favoured option), the organizers of the poll ultimately named the ship after British broadcaster and naturalist. The name was instead given to one of the remote-controlled submarines (pictured) carried aboard the ship.

The name itself may be analyzed as. Possibly influenced by "Hooty McOwlface", a name given to an adopted owl which went viral on the Internet in 2012.
