If you’ve recently brought home a robot vacuum, congratulations—you’ve officially added a new member to your household. And like any good roommate, pet, or sidekick, it deserves a name.
Naming your robot vacuum might seem like a silly tradition, but it’s something thousands of users do—and it makes your smart home feel a little more personal and a lot more fun.
In this post, we’ll explore:
- Why people name their robot vacuums
- Tips for coming up with a great name
- 50+ fun, funny, and clever name ideas (by theme)
- Some hilarious real-world examples
Let’s get into it.
Why Do People Name Their Robot Vacuums?
Here’s why naming your robot vacuum has become such a popular trend:
- It Makes the Tech Feel More Human
A smart vacuum moves on its own, makes decisions, and navigates your home—basically a little robot butler. Naming it gives it a touch of personality.
- It’s Fun for the Whole Family
Kids love asking, “Is Kevin cleaning today?” And let’s face it, even adults enjoy yelling, “Sweepy! Get back in here!”
- It Adds a Personal Touch
Your vacuum might be a Roomba, Roborock, Dreame, or Ecovacs, but naming it makes it yours—especially if you use voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home to control it.
- It Sets the Tone
The name can be funny, classy, or clever—depending on how you see your robot: a hardworking servant, a lovable pet, or an unreliable sidekick who gets stuck under the couch.
Tips for Choosing the Right Name
Before you scroll down to pick one, here are a few quick tips to help guide your choice:
- Think about its personality. Is your robot clumsy? Silent? Always stuck under the table? Choose a name that matches.
- Make it short and snappy. You’ll be saying this name often. One or two syllables work best.
- Pop culture names are fun, but think timeless. Will you still enjoy calling it “Grogu” in two years?
- Consider voice assistant compatibility. If you’re using Alexa, pick a name that won’t be misheard.
Now, onto the good stuff.
