Septimus Prime gave a great audition in tonight’s episode of The Voice that saw him through to the second round – but what he’ll really be remembered for is his name.
The auditionee acknowledged that his name conjured up thoughts of Transformers before he went in to begin his performance.
Although he’s already trying to put a stop to too many jokes about it.
Yes, my real name is Septimus. No! I'm not a transformer #TheVoiceUK pic.twitter.com/B1bY1ombbp

The name didn’t sit well with everyone.
He's got a soulful voice even if Septimus sounds like a nasty STD #thevoiceuk

Others wondered about his siblings.
#theVoiceUK I so wanted Septimus Prime's brother to be called Amazon.

The reasoning behind the name baffled people.

At least people will remember his name when it comes to voting.
