Iirc Boaty McBoatface actually won. The people holding the contest quickly learned asking the Internet to name your boat is a bad idea. Just like when Taylor Swift did a survey for folks to name where she should have a concert and the vote was overwhelming at a school for dead children.
But to the boat people’s credit, they named one of the life boats Boaty McBoatface.
Yeah Boaty was the first Noun-y McNoun-face I recall too. I’m pretty sure it was just so absurd (when the other submissions were mostly serious) that it birthed the meme.
It started with BoatyMcBoatface, as far as I know. The winner for naming what became the Sir David Attenborough.
