How to pick the right name

Put the room in the name

With two or more devices, a room clue (Basement Bunker, Cabin Fever) means you never cast a cartoon to the wrong TV.

Remember that guests will see it

Visitors see your device name when they mirror a phone to your TV. Keep it clean and save the inside jokes for the family group chat.

Keep it short

Short names are easier to read in a device list on a small phone screen. Two or three words is plenty.

Let the name set a house rule

Names like Homework First or Ask Mom First are a gentle reminder every time the kids open the app.

Frequently asked questions

What is a funny name for a Roku?

Roku Balboa, Rokuzilla, Roku Matata and Binge Crosby are favorites. Puns on the word Roku land fastest because everyone in the house gets them instantly.

How do I change the name of my Roku device?

Sign in at my.roku.com, open the device under My devices and edit its nickname and location. In the Roku mobile app, open Devices, tap the three-dot menu next to the device and choose Set Name and Location; your phone must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Where does my Roku's name show up?

Roku says the name and location appear in your Roku account, the mobile app and when you use AirPlay or screen mirroring. That means guests who cast to your TV will see it too.

What are some funny TV names?

Glare Bear, Screen Dion, Hi-Def Leppard and Plasma Llama work on any smart TV, not just a Roku. Puns on screens, pixels and remotes are the easiest to recognize.

What should I name each Roku in my house?

Pair a room clue with a pun, like Living Room Legend, Bedroom Bingebox or Basement Bunker. Funny names that still say where the TV is make it easy to pick the right one from a list.
