I would have named her His Majesty's Turd Cutter, HM Turd Cutter for short. It sounds very nautical don't you think?

Not very appropriate for the UK since there isn't a 'His Majesty'.

The name chosen is RRS Sir David Attenborough, most fitting but one of the remotely operated sub-sea vehicles will be named Boaty in recognition of the vote.

I think that's a most appropriate name for the new ship. But will it be RRS Sir David Attenborough or just RRS David Attenborough?
