This time in Sweden.
The public want to call a new train Trainy McTrainface.
Taking inspiration from Boaty McBoatface the public voted for one of four services running between Stockholm and Gothenburg to be called Trainy McTrainface.
Local journalist Henrik Ek says the rail company is taking it seriously:
#BoatyMcBoatface just got a sister in Sweden: #TrainyMcTrainface! I love when the public gets to name things! https://t.co/2C2APcyjbs pic.twitter.com/2sAkZ7LNdW

In 2016 the British public voted to call a polar research vessel Boaty McBoatface.
They were overruled though and the ship was later called the RRS Sir David Attenborough.
The decision led to disappointment worldwide and it's hoped Trainy McTrainface will make up for it.
