I was reading "I Robot" and wondered what the roboticists would have called a robot with designation PRS-950. Most of Asimov's were pretty straightforward:
RB series robot became Robbie
SPD-13 became Speedy
QT-1 became Cutie
DV-5 became Dave
NS-2 became Nestor

PRS-x50 becomes... Pierce? Percy? Pris[cilla]?

Also, if a manufacturer finds this thread, feel free to use these names. PM me for the address to send the obscenely large check. Thanks!
