Rejected petition Ensure that NERC name their new ship "Boaty McBoatface", should that name win.

NERC are looking for names for their new boat and are taking suggestions from the public.

If the current runaway leader "Boaty McBoatface" wins, then I feel this should be the name chosen.

It's so fabulously British!
