Look, I'm all for people being really into games. But as with everything in life, there is a line, and naming your son after a fantasy video game character is, well, yeah.

Sure, the prize for the parents is a sweet one: they get free Bethesda games for life. But if little Dovahkiin Tom doesn't like video games? Or doesn't like Bethesda video games? Well, then little Dovahkiin Tom is shit out of luck.
