Highlights

  • Fallout 4 breaks the norm by allowing Codsworth to say over 1,200 names, adding a personal touch to gameplay.
  • Your custom name comes alive as Codsworth addresses you with Mister or Miss before it, adding a touch of elegance.
  • Codsworth's vast vocabulary allows for the inclusion of both common and unique names, including obvious references like Kal-El.

Usually, when you input a custom name in a game, you then embark on a whole adventure where nobody calls you by it. Instead, you hear a lot of "you," "Commander," "Captain," "Merc," "Soldier," and any other general title that the developers can come up with. This is because there's no way to have all the voice actors record lines for every name.

Companion perks can offer some incredible bonuses to the Sole Survivor in Fallout 4, but it takes a little work to unlock them.

However, Fallout 4 is one of the rare games that attempts to do it. Naturally, most of the cast won't say your name, but your robotic butler-turned-companion, Codsworth, has the capability of doing so. Of course, there are limitations, as he doesn't know every name, but he can verbalize a large number of them. Here is a collection of all the ones he can say.

Every Name That Codsworth Can Say

There are over 1,200 names in Codsworth vocabulary. Most of them are ordinary names, such as Ben, Elizabeth, and Sam. Yet, there are also a bunch of strange ones, like Bacon and Boob. There are even a few obvious references, like Kal-El, which is the real name of Superman.

Whatever your name is, he doesn't just say it. He's a butler, after all, so he puts Mister or Miss in front of it to make it sound a bit more fancy. As such, if you give him two names, he'll typically prioritize the second one. And he'll say it each time you interact with him.

Here are all the names he can say in alphabetical order, separated by the letter they begin with:

Codsworth isn't too bothered about the spelling of your name. For example, Chris and Kris both work. We've only included one spelling for each voice line in this collection.
