Fallout 4’s latest update teaches Codsworth a bunch of new names
The latest patch for Fallout 4 is now available on PC, and your name could be part of it.

It’s a cool little feature, and the fact that Bethesda is actively adding to it is even better. You can check if your name is included thanks to this handy post on Reddit.
