What to Consider When Naming a Robot

Download Article

1
Consider the robot’s function or purpose. If your robot’s purpose is to clean, call it SqueakyClean or Shiny (or one of these robot vacuum name ideas). You might name them after Roomba, the robot vacuum cleaner, or Rover, one of the robots on Mars. Once your name fits the robot’s calling, it’ll feel more natural.
2
Pick a name that reflects the robot’s personality. Most robot name ideas directly reflect the kind of being it is (albeit robotic). Do you prefer funny robot names like Sir Beeps-a-Lot or World Peace? If it’s pop culture you’re most into, choose Rosie from The Jetsons or Sonny from I, Robot.
3
Choose a unique and memorable name. Whatever name you choose, dig deep to find the right one for you or your character. While using a male or female name might have meaning to you, the more stand-out your robot’s name is, the more others are likely to remember it.
