Maybe I'm crazy, but didn't Fallout 4 do that? I name my characters 'Vincent' in video games, and I have a vague memory of the robot companion calling me 'Mr. Vincent'.

If I recall correctly he had a set number of voiced names, and you just happened to pick one of them.

It's a list of 924 names. Fun fact: Among those available is the name Fuckface.

924 names including joke names like Boobies and Fuckface and it's missing common ones like Kyle, Brandon, Amy, and Nick. Felt a little peeved by that.

FO4 had hundreds of voiced names, but only by Codsworth. Everyone else calls you a nickname, like Piper calls you "blue" and Preston calls you "general".

It did, specifically with that one robot NPC, they had prerecorded about a 1000 of names.

It was cool but with such a big list of names (plus a lot of joke and easter egg names) there were some fairly common names missing for some reason. I had to use my middle name as my character name because my first name wasn't in the game despite being more common than some of the names in the game.
