"Karma is a *****" comes to mind.
If it's not controlled by some silly git though, then nothing is more appropriate than Brolem.

If this is historical, based on the original legend, name it Moses for obvious historical allegory.
If purely fantastical, name it Loew or Bezalel to tie it back to the original legend and lend it credibility.
Or name it Graveler, Babel, Geodude, Clayton, Rach'y or something else obvious if not.

Golems can have pretty much any name one might give an homunculous or robotic construction. You can choose to give it a pet's name, a model number (which can also sometimes resemble a cute name, such as an air-powered golem named AERO-0000 (aeronaut)), an esoteric, mystical name, or simply name it "golem".

Is this golem a one of a kind golem? Or are you going to have lots of golems? If your going to have lots, maybe instead of an individual name you should get a theme going on, like all the golems being named after a mountain or something.

... okay, but what's the golem like? What's it made out of? How's it made? What's it for? Or haven't you gotten that far yet?

I generally only allow people the knowledge of my golem's names if they work for it.

Then it's often something unfitting like Godfrey or Keith.

depends on his origin. If I was to mass produce golems, I would only give them numbers, or a model type or something simple.
Their owners could certainly name them however they like. maybe a real name, maybe keep a number, maybe just what they do

There is only one possible name for this golem, regardless of materials used to make it or origins.

Stumpy. Stumpy McLunger.
