Hahahah. Got to love the English sense of humour!

I bet they regret asking the public now..
Though to be honest if Boaty wins, I would just say "that's a ridiculous name" and give it to the second highest.

Boaty is about to be overruled, if that`s the case, why bother about asking people to respond.

I have submitted mine , doubt it will get through .

As Pompski said , I bet they are regretting opening it up to the public . They could save Face by having a " Most inventive name " .
