You may not know the context around the naming suggestion
Boaty McBoatface (also known as Boaty) is the British lead boat in a fleet of three robotic lithium battery–powered autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) of the Autosub Long Range (ALR) class. Launched in 2017 and carried on board the polar scientific research vessel RRS Sir David Attenborough, she is a focal point of the Polar Explorer Programme of the UK Government.
Boaty and her two fleet-mates are part of the UK National Marine Equipment Pool and owned by the National Oceanography Centre ...
The name Boaty McBoatface was originally proposed in a March 2016 online poll to name the ship that would eventually be named RRS Sir David Attenborough.[7][8]
Former BBC Radio Jersey presenter James Hand jokingly suggested Boaty McBoatface, a name the public liked and that quickly became the most popular choice. The name has been described as a homage to Hooty McOwlface, an owl named through an “Adopt-a-Bird” programme in 2012 that became popular on the Internet.[9]
Although Boaty McBoatface was the most popular suggestion in the #NameOurShip poll,[7] the suggestion to use the name for the mother ship was not followed;[10] the Minister for Universities and Science, Jo Johnson, announced that the ship would be named Sir David Attenborough, and the name Boaty McBoatface would be used for one of the submersibles aboard instead.[11]
The results of the poll inspired similar results in other naming polls.[12]
Observers of contemporary culture coined the term McBoatfacing as “making the critical mistake of letting the internet decide things”. In one such observation, Jennifer Finney Boylan of the New York Times wrote that to be McBoatfaced is to allow people to “deliberately make their choices not in order to foster the greatest societal good”.

Yeah, that’s why I phrased it the way I did. Crowdsourced naming at the pinnacle.
I started to say “Mcboat”, maybe I should have said “McFlashlight”

Nova is ok, although anyone in the UK is likely to think of these when you say Nova
Supernova might work better

Not a problem anywhere else, or anyplace people are familiar with the actual definition. “A nova (plural novae or novas) is a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently ”new” star, that slowly fades…”
But in the US, our automotive nova has a somewhat performance connotation. https://www.google.com/search?q=chevy+nova&source=lnms&tbm=isch
edit: Although, the UK Nova isn’t too bad with a few bodymods
Lol. It’s horrendous with some body mods. Dreadful car only owned and coveted by chavs!
You will see it by end of this month or early next?
