Help name my robot dog...

[estacado06479]

But I NEED the Tacos, I need them or I will explode! That happens to me sometimes...

conversely, when i HAVE tacos, i explode...(*looks at ground)

i just don't feel "regular" after tacos...

I'd go with Ein, Minche, or Astro.

Isis was the egyptian god of cats! So it doesn't make a lot of sense to name a dog Isis.

I always had problems naming my aibos.

I named the 220 MECH, because that seemed appropriate.

At first I named my 210 PAYCHECK, because that's how much he costed.

But I found that I just kept calling him AIBO or 210 once the others arrived.

I call my ERS-7, SEVEN.

It kind of feels like naming my 1/48 valkyries Bob and Scruffy and Jimmy.

It's a toy, baby.

But I guess go with Isis because everyone else is saying it.

My avatar is a ride-on future aibo.

"costed"

Jesus. Sorry about that. I gotta preview before I post.

Since it's hairless, I think Mr. Bigglesworth will do fine.

Though Isis is associated with cats on TV shows, Bast was the goddess of cats.

Taco ZERO.

How 'bout "kilobyte" just a silly thought although naming something that runs on batteries and a set of preprogrammed behaiviors to obey it's master is also silly. I guess the only bright side that you don't have to clean up after it, feed it or walk it. Anyways congrats!

You hurt Sinistar's feelings. Now apologize.

(Sinistar being the computer I'm using currently)

Tofu, no reason other than its a funny name for a robotic dog. Next choices would be Poppy, then Taco. Then as the trusty joke name, Inu. And remember since its a robotic dog make sure you add some numbers and letters to end of the name like Tofu-01A

Well, the dog is already an ERS-210A so...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Between this and other boards, Taco and Fonzie were the actual favorites, with Isis close behind.

I went with Taco.

The Kawamori designed Aibo, wasn't really limited...it just didn't sell as well as the others.  Most people felt it was too...robotic looking.  And they were $200 more than the 210's (like the one I bought). So now, since they have been discontinued, they are harder to find.  People who own the 220 say it isn't really "cold and robotic" like after all...

I still want the 220A  (The A models were known as the Supercore Models...had a faster CPU).

Yeah, the general public want more "cute" robots, so the cold-looking Kawamori one wasn't as popular.

I remember speaking to a few people around the time it came out when I was in Tokyo one of the comments I got was that "it looks like the Terminator's dog".

As for a name -- how about "`Pochi"? It's the Japanese equivalent of "Rover"

EDIT -- Oops, missed that last post. Congratulations! Happy birth/christening day TACO!

Heh, 'Tofu' is the nickname of one of the Yamato staffers in Japan.

Pochi was a Girls Toon in the 80's about a lil PInk Dog that "Talked" and fought Crime. What about a Dr Who Refference K-9 it fits

Pity. I thought it looked pretty awesome.

awesome or not it definitely looks like more like a weapon or reconnisance robot than a pet

We doing the patlabor look?

[NERV]

the end is near, enough said

[Prowlus]

howabout getting it some Zoid CP-Cannons and calling it Command Wolf : Irvine. Its the right color aswell

[phoenix01]

You could name it Reba West and teach it to sing. Then kick it when it sings. Just because you can.

Or not.

[Gaijin]

Looking for 220A now...the Kawamori AIBO will be mine. Oh yes...it will be mine.

Then a 7.

NERV, have you got the bug?

[NERV]

NERV, have you got the bug?

if i can find a cheap older model we'll find out

[Gaijin]

Be careful on ebay...lotsa scams with AIBO's.

[NERV]

i try to avoid ebay unless there isnt another option, ill wait for something on the aibo forum
