Why not?

Better than just 'Settler' ....

Awesome idea. I've thought about this myself. It would be so much easier to keep track of what settlers are doing what. I would probably name people based on the task I assign them. Names that start with F for food and D for defense lol.

+1 it'd also be easier to keep track of them. There are also settlers I send into the wasteland, knowing who they are would let me equip them better since they can help me in fights sometimes.

+1 would be a nice thing to include in a patch or free update. Shouldn't be necessary to use mods.

The other thing that would be _fantastic_ would be a way to find out what they are assigned to without having to highlight them and look for whatever glows behind them. Similarly labels for provisioners (Sanctuary to Oberland; Oberland to Starlight; etc.) would be nice.

Yeah I'd actually like them or have the ability for them to be named by their occupation since I've often no idea what each settler is supposed to being doing unless I dress every settler in specific gear for farmer, medic, junk salesman etc.......when I return to a settlement which has had an influx of settlers I've no idea who is assigned to what job.

Names would be good, but at the moment you can change their outfits. Military wear for guards ect..

+ 1 - I would like to have names for my settlers too

It wouldn't be a challenge for beth to add it to the game eathier.

Yes, I'd call them all Gary.

Right, you can name your weapons.... Should be cake to name the settlers.

I like this idea & I like that we can name our modded guns, I never thought about naming settlers. I could name them after my mates & boss them around
