What is the name of your cleaning robot?

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.
Edit: Mop is Minion...also from borderlands games
Mine is named Rosie. Rosie the robot maid.
Ours is Rosie too!
There's three of us!
Ours is also Rosie, it just seemed so obvious
J. Edgar would be a good name
"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.
Oni-chan help, I'm stuck on a cord.
Herbert.
Herbert H. Hoover.
Sharkira (shark brand)
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
They are a total game changer if you have the floorplan for it. We are one story with no carpet so it works well.
They are now affordable enough and give you back a nice amount of time you would otherwise spend cleaning.
I was excited once I could reasonably afford one. You also have to robot poof your house.
Rocky. Because it's a Roborock and we're unimaginative.
Have you read Project Hail Mary?
Scoots McGoots
Wall-E!
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.
We call ours Sucky McSuckface.
Lulu, because the brand name is Lubluelu.
that's incredibly cute
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.
DJ (Dirt Jockey)
DJ Roomba for me ... I am not a creative person, lol.
My inspiration was the same lol
My uncle had three, Sucky the vacuum, Squirty the mop and Sir Robert the mower.
Sir Vacuumsalot
i am my own cleaning robot! :)
We have the vacuum and the mop.
They’re Wall•E and EVE, respectively.
Have a routine set up.
“Hey Google…Release the kraken”.
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
Robot. I hope it remembers me fondly for not humanizing it when the uprising begins.
Same, and sometimes "my little robot friend".
Name's Scruffy. The janitor.
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.
Janet - not a girl
Before it died, Eugene the Eufy robot.
Grim, short for The Grim Sweeper
Dustin
Woodhouse, as in Sir Arthur Henry Woodhouse VC, GCB, DSO, DSC, MC. Sterling Archer's valet.
Yeah I'm not giving out my wife's name online
Daddy, Mama and Baby. (Shark brand)
Skynet
Mr Roboto, so we can tell him domoarigato :)
"Well of course I know him. He's me."
Dj Roomba as a reference to PnR. And Disco, DJs older brother
I'd call it Taylor Swiffer
Sir Clean-a-lot
Danny "The Trashman" Devito
Kreacher because it alerts for no reason and doesn't do a good job at the one thing it was made for.
Crushinator
I just thought it was kinda neat
Robert (with a French accent)
Elliot, after the main character from Mr. Robot.
"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.
Ours is named Scooper. The kids picked it, and I thought it was funny.
Zippy!
Bumpy. It bumps into things.
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.
I kept it simple: Robbie.
My personal favorite was when Tom Haverford put an iPod and a set of speakers on his and called it DJ Roomba.
Roe B Wade and Robot Johnson
Screamer. Very few people will understand.
Mimi.
Because it's a Xiaomi.
Reminds me of the TF2 Mimi
Hondo and R2
We have a Trifo Lucy.
We call her Lucille as an homage to Arrested Development.
Mine is Garry, like from spongebob I was gonna see if I could thcange his noises to match but I can't 😫
Gary
Moe
Consuela
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.
Vacula. Because he sucks your... dust.
Mark the Shark and Rueben the Roomba
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.
Consuela, for obviously reasons. No....noooo....
Kevin.
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.
Karen, Becky, and Sylvia
A threesome?
We named ours Consuela, after the cleaning lady on Family Guy
Punky Eufster
Rob the Roomba
Jaraxxus, Eredar Lord of the Burning Legion.
Slurpee!
Broom.
It does not make funny beep bops but damn it surely does clean stuff!
"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.
Cashew, not sure why just felt it suited it
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.
Steve
Slave-1
Bicho (bug)
Martha
Saugi
Graham
Shadow.
Ours is Loretta cause that’s what she looks like. My mom named hers Mavis for similar reasons.
Robotina as the Jetson's maid robot is named in my country
Old mate.
Old mate is the ultimate place holder name for Aussies.
