Pick a kind of name
After your first press, the list beside the button narrows the draw: Cleaning puns such as Floorence, Grand titles such as Lord Dustington, names that treat it Like a pet, Robot names, Real first names and Job titles.
Let the household vote
Set the count to 5, press once and read the five out loud. The name that gets a laugh from everyone wins; you will be shouting it when it gets stuck under the sofa.
Tips
- If its app lets you rename the robot, use the name there too, so every alert reads like a note from a housemate.
Questions and answers
What are funny names for a robot vacuum?
Sir Sweeps-a-Lot, Baron von Bonk, Captain Corners, Chief Crumb Officer and Sweep Dreams are all here. Plain human names work too: Kevin is funny because it is so ordinary.
What should I name a robot mop?
Moppy, Floorence, Grimebuster or the After-Hours Crew. If you have a vacuum and a mop, give them a pair of names, such as Duchess of Dust and Lord Dustington.
Why are there no brand or famous robot names?
A brand name belongs to a company and a famous robot to a film. Every name here is built on a cleaning word, a robot word or an ordinary first name, so it is yours alone.
