Hi all, I closed the polls on this a few days ago, and the results are in. By popular vote, the candidates from first to third place are:
1) Famous logicians and Computer Scientists - 21 out of 40 votes. 2) Boring and descriptive names - 19 out of 40 votes. 3) NSA Surveillance Tools - 15 out of 40 votes. So it looks like our bots will be paying homage to our predecessors and will be named after them. :) Thanks to the 40 people who voted!
