Boaty McBoatface? Ship naming contest doesn't go as planned

Some wild names are in the lead of a naming contest for a new state-of-the-art research ship. The U.K. organization behind the contest hoped people would come up with something inspirational to name their new $300 million research vessel.

The Natural Environment Research Council's ship is designed to carry scientists to the Arctic and Antarctica.

The top name so far is "Boaty McBoatface." The name was trending yesterday morning. Other popular suggestions are "Usain Boat," "Ice Ice Baby," and "Boatimus Prime." NERC will make the final decision.
