The Big Cheromsky. It's a barracuda and it kicks butt. I wanted him to have masculine name for self esteem purposes.
What's your pool cleaners name?

Phil. Our (then) 10yr old boy named it instantly. We have no idea why he chose Phil
The "Blue Fish"
My 2 year old grand daughter would freak out when the Polaris came near her.
We asked her what she was afraid of and she said "The Blue Fish"
It's been the "Blue Fish" ever since.

"Barbara"

Based on photos and posters found in the pool house (I am not the not original owner), I have evidence that this individual has been in my pool:

My first pool clean was a Kreepy Clrawler knockoff we called Benny and the Jets (Elton John song). Our current cleaner is a Great White which we call Jaws!

"Vinny" the Viper 
And it attacks us ALL the time - often spitting water at us when we are near the outside of the pool or tangling itself around our pole skimmer when we are trying to skim. He's got attitude.
It's a cheapie Hayward Viper sold to us by the pool company that installed our pool 7 years ago. But it still does a pretty decent job since we have a smaller pool (only 32 x 16.)

When my wife was a kid, they called their Polaris cleaner Seymour, after a 70's Saturday morning show called Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. So they got the name wrong...they were close!
Anyway, to continue the monster theme, we now call ours Nessie.

Kevin - Our daughter wanted to name our new German Shepard Kevin but was over ruled by Mom, so I started calling the Dolphin Kevin and it stuck much to my daughters dismay.

At a previous house, we had a polaris 280 our daughter named Sir Leroy Black (yes the black one) - don't know why! But when she was swimming & he touched her she'd always scream that Leroy was trying to take advantage of her (not in those words, mind you!) We just finished our pool at the new house & have the same model & though we tried to change the name, he rapidly became Sir Leroy Black.

How about K-9? Reminds me of The Doctor's mechanical companion!
Polaris 280 when I was a kid Herbie after the love bug because it could drive up the walls and do flips with no damage. in the new pool Jaws because it gets on the Baja shelf and sticks the collection bag out of the water like a dorsal fin.

A couple that we are close friends with, nicknamed our Nautilus, Raoul. Seems it had something to do with his wife, a cruise, a cabin boy.... and she wasn't talking.

I've had 2 Hayward Navigators, at the last house it was a gray plaster footed one I named Huey.
The current one is a red colored vinyl footed one I named "BOB" (from The Blackhole movie) the shade
of red is the exact color of the Disney robots.
