Naming ships?

A surprising number of words are I've found. Which I guess explains the strange lack of vulgarity.
Profanity Filter for ship naming?
There isn't one on the "Sesame-Street-ABC123" Bobbleheads...
If we start enough threads about it, maybe we'll get a Megathread started on this...

Why so derisive of immersion?
Aside from that, I would also love the feature of making personalised ship names. For now I've accustomed myself to naming them on inara.

I wish people would stop misspelling 'immersion'. It's very condescending and extremely annoying.
Ship naming is being worked on. In a live stream a while ago, i think it was Ed who mentioned it. I think he also implied that he had seen it and its looking good. To my mind they are not just going with a UI element, but also having it so that names are displayed on ships (hope so!) like decals. This is probably what is taking the time, making sure names display right, big enough to be seen, but not so big they don't fit for longer names (culture fans might be disappointed otherwise!).
Note, this bit about decal naming is just my theory, nothing confirmed by FD!
So, basically, just be patient.
In the meantime, i suggest using EDDI for that ship naming immersion. I never get bored of hearing: "R O U A slight case of overbombing is jumping to [system name]. This is your [Nth] visit to this system. This system is undergoing a boom. There might be good trading opportunities here."
Or when you return to your home system, gettting that "Welcome home CMDR".

Why is everyone on this board so scared of rude words? Don't like a players ship name, blow them out of the sky for <expletive deleted> sake, let's face it, you're only going to see it if you're all up in his junk since it'll still be the cmdr's name on the comms panel.
I think the reason they're taking so long to implement it is because they want to monetise it but unsure of how to set it up. IMHO.

Controlling ship names of 2 million players multiplied by x ships per player multiplied by x name changes per player / ship, seems to be a major challenge. To limit the mass control, the naming should be paying ?

AFAIK, ship naming will not be a paid for feature. They have never indicated that.
As for rude words, look at the game, its PEGI 13, therefore they have to do what they can to maintain that rating. Its why CMDRs with rude names are told to change them.

I think (and surely hope!), we won't have to pay for our ship names themselves. This would feel ... just wrong.
What I could imagine, however, is that there might appear additional fonts in the store (assumed that we will indeed be able to see our ship names written on the ship hull).

yes and there's a bazillion ways to hide it from filters with * -= /// % etc. etc.
Anyone recall Forza and how there was a pretty strict regime re personalising cars etc. because of just this problem? We really don't want to go down the road of banning people for naming infractions but that's how it was with Forza.
I thought my ship WAS named. Lakon Yankee Oscar Delta is what station control always calls it.
It was more a joke (have you seen my name)
But this is the internet and expected , though reporting seems a bit extreme (or in the least a time waste for support team).
I agree with this, what Fdev does not need, is to be chasing down every complaint about names, different people find different things offensive, someone for example names their ship Trump, you can imagine where that would lead, yes FDev can ignore it, but they still have to take time to read the complaint, wasteful time.

That's easy, permit letters and numbers only, won't stop all of it, but will severely limit it.

Lazy. CBA to look if this is already said. sure it has.
Livestream before christmas, confirmed to being worked on, (speculation;- likely to come in 2.3 if not 2.4.)

That's just the ship manufacturer followed by the first three letters of your commander name.
