Yeah this'll go well
I can't imagine a world in which calling a bird a "tit" in the first place was not the product of a poorly thought out public poll
They're aiming for more descriptive names, so it's probably not going to be a "vote for the best name" type of public involvement
I'm not entirely sure that involving the public in anything is wise.
