Orbi may have just received its official name, but Vegans definitely made up their own versions long before. Some loved the new name, some thought they had better ideas, and some simply came up with other options…you know, in case it’s still debatable. Here are some of the best online reactions!
On reddit, the community discussed the recent decision – was Orbi the right call?
- ReporterPure66 – Oh, and I’ve been calling him Mr. McSpherson. I feel so foolish!
- AysheDaArtist – Can’t trick me with a nametag, Sphery McSpherson.
- Historical-Pair-9821 – It’s better than Bob.
People on X also had some thoughts…
- @CityOfLasVegas – How Orb-dorable?!
- @MikeMurcielago – My wife named him Stanley and he will always be Stanley to me
- @Vegasbob1962 – I’ve been calling it “Lucent Ball”. Guess I gave it too much thought

Overall, Orbi had a great welcome party
People have adored Orbi for years, whether commuters pass it daily on their way to work or travelers recall it from their Vegas vacation. With the brand new name, Orbi also dropped some much-awaited merch, which you can find here. Everyone loves carrying the cute emoji around on their T-shirts or hats – there’s even an adorable baby onesie! However, the internet is already asking for a more realistic, tech-powered version of Orbi – some would love to have the little guy on their desk, or on their desktop, connected in real time to the original one. That would be pretty cool, indeed!
