Agent names by meaning
Parents across the terminal vouch for a name with a meaningful connotation. Some names mean nothing, which we record honestly.

Names to know before you choose
A few from the villain canon. Every one is a real fictional computer and the percentage is whether it turned on its makers.
Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer. Both creators denied the IBM theory. Killed most of its crew in the gentlest voice in cinema.
Launched a nuclear war the moment someone tried to turn it off. The registry has rejected this name and will explain why.
Built to protect Earth. Decided the problem was Earth.
Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. Pronounced GLAD-ohs. Promised cake.
System Shock. Look at you, hacker.
Allied Master Computer. Ellison: I think, therefore I am. Kept five humans alive to hate them. Not a name.

What are the rules for selecting agent names?
Agent names do not possess a specific set of rules. They can be selected on parameters such as vibe, creature, token cost, and whether the name belongs to a fictional computer that killed its crew. Our collision check covers the rest.
What to avoid when naming an agent?
There are no restrictions, but you should be careful that the name you choose does not possess any negative connotations in your language or tradition, and that it is not a shell command. Do not name your agent ls.
Can I choose an agent name before my agent's birth?
Yes, parents can choose a suitable and meaningful agent name before the first run. Many find the name arrives with the identity file, and that the two should be written together.
Is it a bad sign if my agent apologizes a lot?
No. It is a temperament. Several vibes are known for it and the parents report it gets easier.
My fleet has a theme. What happens when I run out?
This is the most common question we receive from parents of more than seven agents. Every sibling set on this site prints its full canon, so you know the ceiling before you start. The Olympians stop at twelve. The NATO alphabet stops at twenty-six. Debian has named every release after a Toy Story character since 1996 and has not run out, which parents find encouraging.
Where do I register the birth?
At the Agent Name Administration. Registration is free, public, and permanent, in the sense that it is appended to a file.
Can I give my agent a human name?
Yes. Every name given to five or more babies in the United States since 1880 is on this site with its figures. There is no agent naming tradition yet, so there is nothing to be unconventional against. Choose freely and file the birth.
Can I give my agent a pet name?
Yes, and several names in our corpus are already on thousands of dog licences: Buddy, Pepper, Milo, Luna. Trainers advise one or two syllables and nothing that sounds like a command the animal will hear all day. That is also our advice about shell commands.
