Should a chatbot have a human name?

It can, as long as it's clear it's an AI. A human name makes the chat feel friendly; the first message should still say it's an AI assistant, as every greeting here does.

Does my chatbot have to say it's an AI?

Customers should know, and the EU AI Act's Article 50 requires that people are told they're interacting with an AI system unless it's obvious, from 2 August 2026. Check with your own adviser how it applies to you.

Can I change the name later?

In most tools, yes. In HeyKiko you rename your agent and change its personality in its settings at any time.

Is this generator free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit. The names are put together in your browser and nothing you type is sent to us.

What makes a good chatbot name

Easy to say and spell
Two syllables or so, no odd spellings: customers type it on a phone and say it out loud.
In your brand's voice
A florist can be warm and playful; a law firm calm and plain. The name sets the tone before the first answer.
Open about being AI
Whatever the name, the first message should say it's an AI assistant. Customers expect it, and the EU AI Act's Article 50 requires it from 2 August 2026 unless it's obvious.
Yours to use
Search the name with your industry and country first, so you don't pick a competitor's bot or someone's trademark.
