TIL that the original designee of the name Boaty McBoatface is not the actual Boaty McBoatface of this article. I think around 2008 was when the —y Mc— pattern came about (I remember referring to John McCain as Mavericky McMaverick). I use it with my kids these days and it gets expanded even further, e.g., Grumpy McGrumplestein from Grumplevania.
