Agent Name DNA

Eight questions. Three names. One roast.

Question 1 of 8

What will the agent mostly do?

Tools

Each takes a name and answers immediately. Type one anywhere on the page and they all update.

Token Cost

What the name costs every time it is said.

Collision Check

Whether the name is already a shell command, a package, a Pokémon, or a drug.

Villain Probability

Whether the name sounds like it will turn on you, and whether it did.

Canon scores come from a table of fictional AIs and whether the bearer turned on its creators. Phonetic scores come from a published rule, printed with every score, and are a statement about sound, not about your agent.

Full Name for When It’s in Trouble

Every agent needs a middle name for the moment you need to say the whole thing.

Jarvis Percival, did you or did you not force-push to main?”

Birth Announcement

Should I Change My Agent's Name?

One parent changed his agent's name twice in four days. Here is how to break the news to yours.

In January 2026 an open source agent went from Clawdbot to Moltbot to OpenClaw in the space of a week, the middle step forced by a trademark objection. Its mascot, Molty, kept its name throughout. There are lessons here for parents, and the Administration has written them down.
