 While an Internet poll suggesting the name of the ship had the most votes for "Boaty McBoatface", Science Minister Jo Johnson said there were "more suitable names", and the official name was eventually picked up from one of the more favoured choices.However, one of its research subs was named "Boaty" in recognition of the public vote.At least 20 species and genera, both living and extinct, have been named in Attenborough's honour.
