What name have you chosen for your robot and why?

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

Mimi.

Because it's a Xiaomi.

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of the TF2 Mimi

[–] Jud_R@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Mine is Garry, like from spongebob I was gonna see if I could thcange his noises to match but I can't 😫

Mine are named after ATLA characters. Vacuum is Aang, mopper is Katara, litter robot is Lin Beifong (it has clay litter; the previous iteration was Toph), and the cat feeder is Lau Gan-Lan.

Hondo and R2

We have a Trifo Lucy.

We call her Lucille as an homage to Arrested Development.

I kept it simple: Robbie.

[–] simpleslipeagle@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 years ago

Ours is named Scooper. The kids picked it, and I thought it was funny.

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Screamer. Very few people will understand.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Bumpy. It bumps into things.

My personal favorite was when Tom Haverford put an iPod and a set of speakers on his and called it DJ Roomba.

[–] HamSwagwich@showeq.com 2 points 2 years ago

Consuela, for obviously reasons. No....noooo....

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Cashew, not sure why just felt it suited it

[–] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

We have 2. The el-cheapo (Lidl) is called Robby and is let loose in the bedroom and bathroom. The rumba is called Robert and is for the livingroom.

[–] youRFate@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Rob the Roomba

[–] ProdigiousWumpus@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Sir Bob II because the first robot vacuum we had was a BobSweep named Bob, naturally, so when we upgraded to a Roomba we wanted to name it Bob II and the Sir just seemed to fit.

We named ours Consuela, after the cleaning lady on Family Guy

[–] OpenPassageways@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Mark the Shark and Rueben the Roomba

[–] bobzilla@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Vacula. Because he sucks your... dust.

[–] Aremel@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Grandpa Suckem. I forget why.

Edit: I remember now. Fromsoft games are a little heavy handed with the online name censorship, and there was a streamer my fiance and I watch that was playing with someone who's name was heavily censored. One of the suggested names from the streamers was "Grandpa Suckem" and my fiance and I found it hilarious.

Broom.

It does not make funny beep bops but damn it surely does clean stuff!

[–] Poecile_rufescens@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ours is named Hairy II, because he picks up so much cat hair. All credit to my aunt for the name, though. She had a robot named Hairy before we did, and we just co-opted the name.

[–] VintageTech@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Punky Eufster

A threesome?

[–] resurge@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

"Ons moeder", which translates to something like "Our mom".
With the idea that if the robot cleans half as good as my mom does, the house will be clean enough to live in.

Old mate.

Old mate is the ultimate place holder name for Aussies.
