British Airways asked people to name an aeroplane and the absolutely inevitable happened

Still not over the disappointment of BoatyMcBoatface, the ship name that never was?

Well thanks to British Airways and Team GB all your unusually-monikered-transportation-vessel-based wishes have come true.

The British Olympic team asked Twitter users to name the plane that would be bringing the country's Olympics and Paralympics teams back from Rio - and predictably the poll hasn’t quite gone to plan.

BA helpfully supplied some options for people to choose from...

Some stuck to the script...

But, it wasn’t long before die-hard BoatyMcBoatface fans got involved and PlaneyMcPlaneface was born...

Will PlaneyMcPlaneface be victorious? We know which name has our vote. British Airways, do the right thing.
