Xbox Game Pass is fantastic value for a subscription service, but that doesn't mean you should name your child after it.
During a Gamescom 2021 live stream earlier this week, Xbox games marketing manager, Aaron Greenberg, jokingly advised fans not to call their child "Game Pass".
"I also ask that no one name their baby Game Pass."
This comment was made in response to a story shared by Bethesda's Pete Hines about how a family legally named their child "Dovahkiin" (a mortal man or woman born with the blood and soul of a dragon in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, source: uesp) and were rewarded with free Bethesda games for life.
It was also pointed out how naming a child "Game Pass" is likely not possible in Germany, or a lot of other countries around the world.
Of course, we can't help but wonder now if naming a child "Game Pass" would result in a lifetime Xbox subscription or something similar. Can you get back to us about this, Xbox?
Game Pass might be a joke too far, but hey - there's always Master Chief or Cortana...right?

Really? Dang! Now I have to start the name search all over again!
I'm not sure if 'game pass' would be worse than the name elon musk choose for his child
Naming a child Game pass? That’s stupid! My Firstborn will be called “Xbox Series M” (if it is a male) or “Xbox Series F” (if it is a female) Of course if he/she grows up and decides he/she is non binary he/she could always change the name to the gender neutral “Xbox Series X”.
I identify as a game pass, does that count?
Okay i will name my next.
Xbox series S jr the 2nd
It's too late.
My son Game has just started primary school. He will carry on the Pass family lineage for years to come.
Not surprised really. Psalm, North, Dream, Mason Dash, Chicago, Reign, True, Stormi, ... etc. named in one family = same category. Poor kids!
That's just as bad a parents naming their kid 4 Real (with the actual number) a few years ago.
I actually know a couple who named their son Cash Money.
What a silly thing to do. I mean, c'mon... who would name their kid after Game P--
Oh hold that thought, I have to get my kid, "Red Ring of Death" ready for school. BRB
Acceptable names remain: Failure, Problem, Mistake, and Jackpot.
Red Ring of Death? Any takers?
Mario is a common given name in Italy. I wonder...
