names for Roomba vacuum
I bought my first home yesterday and ordered a Roomba for it today. I need to come up with a name for him/her. I got one for my parents 2 years ago and my dad named him Jack, after the robot in Gears of War. The main character in GoW would saw "Jack, rip this door" and the robot would use a blowtorch to cut a door open. My dad likes to say "Jack, clean this floor" and he'll push the clean button.
Anyone have a clever name i could give to my bundle of joy when it arrives?

I'm boring, I just call him (yes, mine's apparently male) "Roomba."
One Roomba owner refers to hers as J. Alfred Proomba at one point (hilarious story, btw), but that's a tad wordy.

If I had one I'd probably call him Mr. Monk or just Cleany.

We just call ours 'the robot'. Mostly when we are reassuring the dog that he is higher in the pack hierarchy than the robot is.

Currently, ours is doing the dreaded "circle dance" so right now, its name is "Bad Roomba!"
I am going to try the can of compressed air and spray under the sensors later today and see if that fixes the problem. Otherwise, we're still trying to find a name, but just call it "Lil' Roomba" for the time being. We're waiting to see it grows up to look more like his side of the family or mine. (It does sound a little like my Aunt Jo - she too used to say "uh oh" whenever something bad would happen.)

Ours is Johnny 5. He is named after the robot in Short Circuit. My name is Stephanie which is also the name of the girl in that movie. My husband is John...so we figured it was perfect!

Uriah [Heep] -- a Dickens character known for his unctuous displays of humility (who was proven to be covetous, deceptive, and a most unreliable worker, so watch out!)
Pleco -- short for plecostomus. Fresh-water aquarium enthusiasts can vouch for the bottom-scum-feeding abilities of this species. Alternatively, catfish, loach, carp, just the generic "bottom feeder," etc. Homer -- for Homer Simpson, who tends to eat impulsively and compulsively anyway, but esp. WRT the "Treehouse of Horror" episode in which he succombs to the extraterrestrial blob and becomes a monstrous, green Blob/Homer, devouring Springfield. Sedaris -- for David Sedaris, the comic writer. Before he hit it big as a writer and NPR contributor, Sedaris used to work as a housecleaner -- because he liked the work (he's got OCD, IIRC, and was something of a compulsive cleaner anyway). I guess the suitability of this name depends on whether you find your Roomba funny, and how you feel about Sedaris' writing!
