Is it even possible to improve upon the name on this guy's space suit: Asimo! Its great! If he really needs another name, I'll name him "Hank, wearer of Asimo, sponsored by Honda"

I have no idea who just posted the comment above under the name Josh. When I clicked on the name, it took me to my own site. Weird. I'm being hacked. Probably not, but who are you, comment-leaver? To answer your and others' questions about whether these robots already have names, no. No, they do not. They are all robots who have been abandoned by their makers and who live in a robot orphanage. The name on the robot's chest is from the factory that built the robot. Every week, when we name an orphaned robot, we empower the little guys so they can be full of pride when they smash our refuse into cubes, build our shitty American-made cars, and bring us drinks in our homes of the future. It makes them feel better, and it makes you feel better. U.S.A.!!

Um, the "Josh" above is actually your beautiful wife, Kristy. I commented on our computer, which apparantly just assumes that everyone is you. And, I see your point about liberating robots from their names, but I still think this is a dude named Hank wearing an Asimo shirt...

I did a little research and discovered that this is actually the 2006 Honda Civic Sedan. It transforms when put into all-wheel drive. So that is my name: 2006 Honda Civic Sedan.
