I still have cogs by my choices, but I have access to the private backers forum.
I pledged on nov 7 - so they should be confirmed soon
Same here - private forum is there but still got the cogs, and I'm a Nov 6 pledger.

I went with Murray the Cat (after our cat). Will be gutted if its gone and so will Murray
Just a quick thought:
For the NPC Name there should be a select Box for gender, as I would hate to encounter my NPC, send my standard threat (surrender or die or something ) and then have HER answer with a deep male voice ;-)
I just assume, that in a game of 2014 there will be some voiceacting for NPC, even if its not a lot of sentences.
What are your thoughts about that?
Afterthought: Even when it is computer generated voice, my NPC is definitely female...

I'd love some sort of update from FD on their progress...
So would my F5 key!
Yes that would be great
I am wondering why its taking so long.
Voiceacting is overused in games these days. I can read a lot quicker than someone can read out the lines, so voice acting is just tedious 99% of the time.

you can only trust automation so far when it comes to weeding out commander names like Az Ole and Richard Head, from my understanding we will all find out at the same time so it may take a few days yet to finalize the first round

Yeah, I thought the same thing actually!
I have actually just finished going through the first round of commander names (they aren't updated on the web app yet, so don't rush to check!). There were very few attempts to sneak through profanities and generally most people have had their options accepted.
One issue that has come up is people that have prefixed their own titles such as Major, Captiain or even commander to the beginning of their names. These are being rejected currently, to give people the opportunity to revise their choices. Otherwise there will be a lot of "Commander Commander [insert name]" flying around.

keep us the good work but don't feel rushed, I'm sure we can wait a nanosecond or two

You rock
Take a break, get a coffee.... then Back to work or it gets the hose!!!
Thanks for the hard work 
You can imagine the scene at Frontier Developments
"Right, everyone got their coats?"
"Donald, ready with the lights?"
"Ashley, get ready, ok, click 'up date' on the web-app!"
"RUNNNNNNNNN"

If I worked at FD I would have been so tempted to insert a temporary typo into certain names, so the backers thought they'd screwed up the entry when they checked the page e.g.
Then listen for the screams.
On reflection, there's probably a very good reason why my job isn't public-facing.
"Dear Mr. Bonner: Congratulations, your commander name has been accepted and locked and cannot be changed. Welcome to the world of Elite Dangerous, Commander Boner."

Or "Congratulations, your commander name : Jameson has been accepted and locked.
Of course not, Ashley. Why would we? The thought...
We are all logged in to the backers web app right now aren't we? Thought it was a bit slow
