What did you name your minions?

[cyberguy]

When I first played Tron, I wanted to give fitting names to all the Servbots, but I was too restricted by the 5 letter limit to get any good names.

The only one I remember for sure was Ace for Number 1. (He was also the favorite.)

So, what did you name your adorable miscreants?

Sam and Max :04:. I'll have to remember that one for next time! ;D

[Dashe]

I always named #35 after myself to the best of my ability. For some reason I only got to use four letters. It was annoying that they wouldn't directly let you name any of them after Tron or Bon. I wound up abbreviating Teisel as Tbon, which worked on one. I also had Mega in the ranks somewhere, and the entire cast of Season 1 of Digimon.

[Mikéy]

Dashe is right, actually...

The cap on letters allowed for Servbot names is 4, not 5. I dunno where you guys are getting 5 instead of 4. :23:

Unless the European version or this special "PAL" version I've never played but heard so much about allow 5 characters... I really wouldn't know otherwise. Anyway, since the names appeared _only_ in that one particular menu, I never bothered nicknaming them, although I think I did name the one that always wears glasses in the lab "AJ" once.

[adrian2040n]

OK. I admit it. I don't remember the names I originally gave them, so I just invented 50 names.

[cyberguy]

I Figured.

Some of those names were too good to be true.

[Dashe]

Laaaaame.

I recall naming one Friz, too, after Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus. I really hope I'd had her in the lab. Most of mine were very obviously from TV shows I was into back then.

[Loken]

Why would you make 50 fake names? And pick out a favorite among them? I am very confused by you. :06:

I loved and still do love the Fairly Odd Parents.
I don't think I've ever named any of my servbots. I had planned to, but forgot quickly.

Because the name which I chose as my favorite is actually my first name. My first name is "Julio", but I prefer to be called by second name "Adrian".

EDIT: Thinking about it, it is still kind of ironic.

That's funny, because AJ from the Fairly Oddparents never actually wore glasses to my knoweldge.

It's too bad aside from Mom and Dad, none of the characters have names with four letters or fewer. That'd have been a great show to glean names from.

[Mikéy]

I never breathed a word about Fairly Oddparents! :24:

Hah, but Chao was right, and Dashe's irony is icing on the cake. I wasn't entirely sure why, but I mostly just wanted to test out the name system to see if anything special would happen, which it didn't, but I can't help but feel glad that I mentioned it. I don't think AJ is in any of the newer episodes, but you gotta love the old series.

...You could nickname your Servbots?

...

I feel so ignorant right now.
