At least it makes sense in the Fallout Universe. I've recently noticed on a memorial near me there's some names, that in context, I can't help but snicker if you're familiar with the concept of "nominative determinism", but it's probably inappropriate to share.

I wonder if nominative determinism does not include some ancestral memory in DNA since a lot of our family names are derived from people's actual vocations from time past: Smith, Baker, Butler, etc.
I am not always careful with the names I choose, but there usually is some personal, popular, historical, or lore-friendly reasoning behind the names I give to people of the dynasty.
