Simple question. Just wondering how creative people can get with their dweller names. for instance Muff Cabbage is in charge of guarding the vault door while Walter White and Crusty Nuts cook up a batch of radaways for Darth Vader when he goes exploring.

I got a dweller from the wastland called Randy Bishop, so I gave him the clergy outfit obviously

I always keep the default last name chosen but change the first to make it more interesting. My two funniest are Figgus Newton and Sugar Snap.


Edit: apparently I was hungry that day.

my favourite dweller ive made is either barrack obama or putin

I usually only rename dwellers funny things based on looks or their stock name, had one of my scientists stock name James Newton, changed it to Jim Neutron, changed Jeff Doman to Jeffrey Dahmer, one that looked like Hannibal lector got that name, a few others based on looks, Jack Pattillo, Dan Gaming.

and of course a few people based on my life, with me constantly in the club in a mayor tophat like a sir.

I name all the females after porm stars and the males (since who cares about male porm stars) after action movie stars and memorable Fallout characters.

Some of my favorite dwellers I've named are Redd Foxx, Rodney King, Henry Ford, and Harry Morgan. All are slated to be my vault explorers, and all but Henry Ford are well on their way to doing just that...they just need to max out SPECIAL first.

Haven't named any myself, but a child born just happened to be named Richard Simmons. His C and A are through the roof.

My radio room found Megan Cox wandering nearby...

I was in the process of running a bunch of Dwellers through my execution chamber when I discovered I had Jerry Lewis in my vault. I just didn't have the heart to kill The Bellboy.

I got a rare dweller from a lunchbox that was wearing the wrestling suit (forgot what his default name was), I renamed him to El Nacho Libre. He's got some kids, always funny to see dwellers with names like Laura Nacho Libre or John Nacho Libre running around the vault.

Disciple - what is this execution chamber you speak of?

My vault has no production facilities like diners, water treatment rooms, gardens or water purification rooms. To give my dwellers nuka cola only is appropriate.


All workers in nuka cola bottlers have Horror-fan outfits and are named after rampage killers (Eric Borel, Derrick Bird, James Oliver Huberty, ...). Not very imaginative, but that's me ..
