Kreacher because it alerts for no reason and doesn't do a good job at the one thing it was made for.

Screamer. Very few people will understand.
Mine are named after ATLA characters. Vacuum is Aang, mopper is Katara, litter robot is Lin Beifong (it has clay litter; the previous iteration was Toph), and the cat feeder is Lau Gan-Lan.
My personal favorite was when Tom Haverford put an iPod and a set of speakers on his and called it DJ Roomba.
Bumpy. It bumps into things.
We have a Trifo Lucy.
We call her Lucille as an homage to Arrested Development.
I kept it simple: Robbie.
Zippy!
Mine is Garry, like from spongebob I was gonna see if I could thcange his noises to match but I can't 😫
Hondo and R2
Ours is named Scooper. The kids picked it, and I thought it was funny.

Sir Bob II because the first robot vacuum we had was a BobSweep named Bob, naturally, so when we upgraded to a Roomba we wanted to name it Bob II and the Sir just seemed to fit.
Cashew, not sure why just felt it suited it
Mark the Shark and Rueben the Roomba
Vacula. Because he sucks your... dust.
Moe
Gary
Consuela
Broom.
It does not make funny beep bops but damn it surely does clean stuff!
Ours is named Hairy II, because he picks up so much cat hair. All credit to my aunt for the name, though. She had a robot named Hairy before we did, and we just co-opted the name.
Grandpa Suckem. I forget why.
Edit: I remember now. Fromsoft games are a little heavy handed with the online name censorship, and there was a streamer my fiance and I watch that was playing with someone who's name was heavily censored. One of the suggested names from the streamers was "Grandpa Suckem" and my fiance and I found it hilarious.
Kevin.
Karen, Becky, and Sylvia
A threesome?
Consuela, for obviously reasons. No....noooo....
We named ours Consuela, after the cleaning lady on Family Guy
Rob the Roomba
Punky Eufster
Slurpee!
"Ons moeder", which translates to something like "Our mom".
With the idea that if the robot cleans half as good as my mom does, the house will be clean enough to live in.
We have 2. The el-cheapo (Lidl) is called Robby and is let loose in the bedroom and bathroom. The rumba is called Robert and is for the livingroom.

Ours is Loretta cause that’s what she looks like. My mom named hers Mavis for similar reasons.
