Is it cold in here?:
Fuzzy mini-llamas.
EDIT: PT410X found his serial number more dignified for ID purposes than a human-style name.
Interesting difference: Winslow got to pick his own name, May didn't. Is that a civil right you lose in Robot Jail?

For companion APCs, I have the impression that the process is pretty informal: if the 'bot doesn't already have a name, it and the human toss around some ideas, and the 'bot picks one it likes. Or if it doesn't have a strong preference, maybe it lets the human pick. (I don't think they've ever mentioned how Pintsize got named, though.)
For an AI prisoner in a work-release program, the rules are likely a bit stricter. In fact, I think May explicitly tells Dale "You get to name me" because of the program she's in. So yeah, that's probably a right you don't get when you're a prisoner.

Hmm, obviously up for interpretation, but my view of it was that she simply didn't have one yet and/or didn't care... 2495, 3rd panel
Kugai:
The Alpacalypse
Damn
*Heads for a Llamasary*
cesium133:
I don't know if Christianity will save us from the Alpacalypse. Perhaps we should consult the Dalai Llama?
