I needed a name for a therapy robot, so I turned to the Facebook masses. While I’ve decided on my character’s name without their help (Selor, short for Counselor), here are some of the best suggestions:

• • 6MUND
  • Sigmund Droid, Siggie for short
  • Counselor Troid
  • IKR-4U
  • RU-OK
  • OK2BU
  • ANX-13T (“anxi-i-e-tee”)
  • HAP-E (Humanlike Artificial Psychologist, Model E)
  • DAD (Disease Analytic Droid)
  • FRIEND (Fully Relational Interpersonal Emotional Nurturing Device)
