Hey Mac-Forumers,
Our news bot needs a real name and this is your chance to help name it! This is part 1 of the contest where you can nominate a name for the bot. After nominations, we'll select four options that will be voted on by the community.

So be sure your name fits in our Community Guidelines and nominate an idea in this thread.

LOL - so far I don't see a common name yet...

I still can't move past Brianna personally :) Although I kind of like Skynet as well... AWESOM-O 4000?
