Good suggestions, I avoided Remote, so as not to be confused with Remote objects.
Cloning is close, however Distributed objects can upgrade to a completely different class implementation and migrate the old implementation object data, way more flexible than Serializable, while utilising the best parts of the serializable object framework. DistributedRecreator? Rather than create or factory it tends to imply recreation. Perhaps a play on Refactor, such as DistributedRefactory? To indicate that change is allowed and expected?
