After you unpack and begin the initial battery charge of your Roomba (or robot vacuums), one of the first things to do is set up the mobile app.
Inside the app, you have the opportunity to give a nickname to your Roomba. This has many uses, including the ability to use the name when telling Amazon Alexa enabled devices to have the robot clean for you.
Even if your robot vacuum doesn’t work with an app, it’s fun to give it a name.
But coming up with a name can be difficult. So we have created this list to give you some ideas and suggestions for coming up with the best name for your Roomba.
Make your friends laugh when they come over and hear you command “Leonardo” to vacuum your floors.
How many of them can you recognize where they come from?

As you can see, the possibilities are near endless. Everything from actual robots to celebrity names. Your Roomba’s name can be anything you want.
You just have to be willing to say it out loud when you need a cleaning cycle done, even if you have guests over.
Do you have a funny or exotic name for your Roomba?
Use the comments section at the end to tell us what name you use and to suggest some we may have missed.
Mr French from Family Affair!
Thanks for the suggestion Bobbi! I’ve never seen Family Affair myself, but I’m sure those who have will appreciate it.
Excellent choice!!
I remembered Buffy and Jody as soon as I saw “Family Affair” but I’d never have come up with the name of the show or the Butler’s name by myself.
Thank you!

(the Butler on The Addams Family)
I have a Roomba and a Braava Jet.
I also have a love of Downton Abbey
Therefore my Roomba is Carson
And my mop is Mrs. Hughes
I just bought 2 Roomba’s. I named them Wally Sweeper and Ting Ting. I chose Wally Sweeper, Wally S., for short because “Walis” is tagalog for broom. Ting Ting is a type of filipino broom called “walis Ting-ting”.
