What happens if Codsworth says your name?

When Codsworth says your name in Fallout 4, it's a surprising and immersive detail that makes the game world feel more personalized, creating a stronger bond with the companion and reinforcing your character's identity, though it doesn't change gameplay stats but enhances immersion by showing the robot's attempt to maintain normalcy and pre-War formality. If your name isn't on his extensive, pre-recorded list (which includes pop culture names and even some crude ones), he'll use "Sir," "Mum," or a shortened version of your name, adding to the detailed world-building.
