What name have you chosen for your robot and why?

My Roomba is called Ramiro, after my slightly alcoholic uncle.

Claptrap because he doesn't do stairs and we love Borderlands games.

    "Johnny 5 chan" and i set the voice to Japanese. I have no idea what it's saying exactly but it sounds very polite when it's stuck.

    We named ours after our blind cat, Musetta. She would walk in straight lines until she met a wall, at which point she would turn and continue in another straight line. She had recently died when we got our first Roomba, so it was like reincarnation to us lol.

    Both seeing this question, and seeing how many people apparently have cleaning robots, is making me realize I live in more futuristic times than I thought. I remember people getting exited about Roombas when I was very young, but not having heard much about them for years apart from the occasional video of cats messing with one, I sorta must've assumed they weren't really good enough yet to be common and had never thought to look into them

    Pleco. I have a couple freshwater fish tanks and the plecostomus is a common algae eater used to keep tanks clean. So I named my robot vacuum Pleco lol.

    Not our cleaning robot, but our wifi enabled air fryer is called PHILIP J AIRFRY.

    Getting a notification that my food is ready makes me smile every time.

    If I had a wifi enabled toilet or toilet cleaner, I'd name it Lucy Liubot.

    Ours is named Rachel because once a long time ago I had a dream that my bf cheated on me with someone named Rachel so now we always joke about Rachel doing things around our house when I'm not home. She's been slacking a lot lately though, he'll have to get a new girlfriend soon.

    I don't have any, but if it had that laser thing on top, I'd call it Geoff, referencing the DIY electric car from top gear

    "Our Maya", because that's the name of my grandmother's cleaning-lady we never met her, but we heard probably more stories about "her maya" than about my grandfather.
