Have you recently got yourself a robot vacuum? If yes, then congratulations!
This handy little device has a mind and personality of its own. Rather than just being a cleaning device, it will often interest your kids or pets. So, like any other family member, it also needs a good name, that you or your kids can call it by.
And this isn't only for setting up the device's name. Associating a name is quite fun, especially while giving voice commands to summon it for a quick cleaning session.
However, coming up with a name isn't as easy as it may seem. We often tend to gravitate towards similar names or towards such names that don't fit.
