Planey McPlaneface is the next to get an awesome name (Picture: Air Lingus)

It started off as a bit of a joke, but it looks like Boaty McBoatface may have fully entered modern culture.

As if Horsey McHorseface wasn’t enough, we’ve now got Aer Lingus wanting to call a plane Planey McPlaneFace.

Next we’ll be changing our name to Newsy McNewsface.

The airline tweeted a picture of a doctored image of one of its plane’s bearing a new name with the tag ‘Fleet goals’.

Everyone seems to have jumped on the McFace bandwagon after a genius – to say the least – suggested a Royal Research Ship be called Boaty McBoatface.



The National Environment Research Council probably soon regretted asking the internet for help on that one.

But, it’s become an ongoing trend and we love it.
