Many Years Ago,

the public were polled to name a new research vessel, 


the name the public choose was Boaty McBoatface, naturally the choice did not meet with official approval, the result? change the rules, so it was goodbye to Boaty McBoatface, there are a few posts about it here

photograph Perth and Kinross Council, so it was with some surprise that I read that when The City hall in Perth, Scotland, is transformed into a museum, City officials had already launched an online poll to come up with a name for the museum, and more than 450 people submitted their ideas, I would have thought that Museumy McMuseumface or maybe Mousey McMuseumface would be the winner, but it was not so, more than 60% of respondents voted for a name they believed encompassed both the history of the building and the stories of the community, and the name chosen? the Perth Museum, the Perth Museum in the old City Hall will open in 2024, story via reddit, I would have voted for Perthy McMuseumface!
