Humanifiers: The Boy with His Hair on Fire

So I've completed the next family member of my Humanifiers series (the robot is happy to finally be able to add someone as an emergency contact to his file at the robot-doctor.)

My next step is to find a name for these products. I'm thinking they need character names, not necessarily item names, as it would be strange to refer to them without anthropomorphizing them. After all, they're Humanifiers, and humans have names. (Unless you're Prince. Then you have a symbol.)

That being said, I'd like the names to be super simple - think Billy, Dick and Jane, names that conjure up classic 1950's sitcoms that portray simple, happy families and mothers in white aprons. I think the contrast between that and the slightly dark nature of this product would make it all the more entertaining.

Any suggestions?

  1. I like the name Eddie or Tommy. I just realized these things have a base; I was wondering how they would sit on your desk or table but the base pretty much takes care of it.

  2. Naming your Baby, in a sense ,is up to parent entirely.... Kinda weird I understand to be the proclaimed parent of a 3-D image. But just entertain the thought....
    The classic names is a good idea, i like the way that you use old style name with new modern generation. Names are tricky.... not sure what i would go with.... GOOD LUCK MOM:)
