Who's got some good names for Servos?

[chickengirl]

My two Servos are named Jeeves and Dorcas (that's Chester Gieke's robot wife. I saw "Dorcas" on a list of baby names when I was looking for names for a set of twins and decided it would be cruel and unusual punishment to inflict it on a human being... but I had no problem inflicting it on a robot. ).

Rob Grant and Doug Naylor came up with a bunch of good ones for the simulants...  Pizza K'Rapp, Jhunque Heep, M'Aiden Taiuan... Just play with words and see what you can think of...  Or grab a Red Dwarf book and figure out which ones I missed.

I've found that names from Greek mythology work well for robot names, for example, Zeus and Poseidon. Also, I named two of my servos the robot's names from Chrono Trigger: Prometheus and Atropos (which are also originally from Greek mythology).

[cwykes]

Then in the Elijah Bailey novels, The Caves of Steel and sequels, robots had basically human names with an R. abbreviated from Robot at the front. Thus, R. Daneel Olivaw. So that might be the easiest naming configuration. Give them regular names with an R. intitial in front of it. R. Bob, R. Steve, er . . . something.

Of course, there's always Martin.

So I did remember it right - it's years since I read those novels - R. Daneel Olivaw - wow I remember the name.   I thought those were brilliant novels!   I think I'll use his convention, but maybe pick some SciFi type first names.

Definitely Marvin if you're at the end of the Hitch hiker universe under the control of the mice.

Clever and funny writers.  The first series of Red Dwarf was a "must see".  After the novely had worn off, it didn't appeal to me so much.  The names are a bit Pratchett like - not my style.   

  I've seen alphabot, betabot etc. but what comes after Z?   

You really intend to have more than 24 robots 

Depends how many years I play this game and, anyway, I believe in looking way ahead in system design!  Maxis never thought we'd get to 800 characters in a 'hood.  And Sims1 build mode bug was the same kind of problem - Maxis didn't expect us to have so many custom walls and floors etc.

Glad to see Red Dwarf made the list of suggestions, Kryten is a cool name.  What about Hymie (Get Smart) though?

[Dark Trepie]

I've only had one so far that I've named Servo-9.

I might make one later called Trepie-Bot just for kicks.

[Firestorm]

I use robot names from that show - Futurama... like Bender, Flexo and Clamps 
I also have a Marvin and Eddie from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Names of metals and alloys work well too, such as Copper, Tin, Al (from Aluminum) and so on and so forth.

[Ambular]

Well lessee.  Great robots and androids not already mentioned.  Data and Lore, Ash, Bishop and Annalee, Terminator, Optimus Prime, the Vision...oh, well, here, this might help:

[Dark Trepie]

I didn't even consider stealing robot names from old shows like Transformers and the like.  90% of Japanese Anime would be a good sorce for it too.

I did have a female Servo I named KOS-MOS after the android from the Xenosaga games though.  But I didn't keep that neighborhood for very long.

[Andygal]

I want to name one "Sunny" after the one from "I, Robot".

[sanmonroe]

I give them all very offensive slave names since Maxis made servo a sambo-shit-eating-grin slave who won't even kill humans.

Mammy-bot, Uncle Tom-Bot, Sambo-Bot, etc.

[uaintjak]

Rosie (Jetsons), Tom Servo, Crow, Gypsy (MST3K), Vincent, Old Bob (The Black Hole), Vickie (that hideous 80s Sitcom, Small Wonder), or you could get all teary-eyed and sad about it, and name them after characters in A.I. (David and Gigolo Joe)

[angelyne]

To be honest making them is too easy and destroying them is too hard. In a world where mortal sims are apt to become trembly-voiced arthritic wrecks within minutes of giving birth an immortal, indestructable robot is sort of insulting.

I wonder if a cow plant can eat a robot.   The poor plant might get indigestion though.

I find them really useful for a business.  They have way more stamina than a human.  And I just realized they have a "restock" option.  This is a godsend for my art gallery business, as the stuff vanishes off the walls faster that ice cream on a hot day.

I will keep a lid on the number though.  3-4 is the most I want to have out in the world.

[BeckerCheez]

Hehe, Bender.   

[Liss]

I named my first bot (female) Galatea.  In mythology Galatea was the woman that that guy built, you know.

The second one I named Deucalion, cuz I liked the name. hehe

You know.  I'm as shocked as you are that they haven't made a game just for you. 

[Baa]

Servo can kill Sims when he goes on a rampage, so nerr.

[TreyNutz]

I've decided to use elements, scientists, minerals, and rocks.

[anelca]

i have a buyable servo. she came with a name Lynda and i left it at that. i have a hard time thinking up names for the humanoid sims never mind a robo version

[gethane]

I'm naming all my robots with a title/prefix. So far I have Mr. Jeeves and Ms. Linnette

[liegenschonheit]

The few I've made have been named after Nick Cave songs. So far I have Stagger Lee, who made Henry Lee, and the female is Lauretta (she prefers Lottie).

I figure the next ones I make will be named differently, but I will probably go along in a theme till I get bored with it. Like have Molly, Case and Armitage, then go a completely different direction and have Integra and Walter. It's really just whatever fits my mood.

Dunno, maybe we need a supplementary rust monster?

[Trubble]

Cowplant can eat robot *nods*

[Klaatu]

Why, Gort of course.

The second one will probably be named Artoo. After that, I'll take ideas from this thread... 

[eamethyst]

I so far have only one Servo, named Data.  If, and it's a pretty big if, I activate another it will be Lore, even if it is female.
