STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.
Except for the unique ones that everyone can get (like those at the end of the exploration chains, and the crit on the follow-up mission, for example), they're ALL randomized.
Was named Trek17.
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
I am pretty sure that there is a set list of names to choose from, though.
Many game companies buy their names from other companies - or their name randomizing software. They're not always in a hurry to read through tens-of-thousands of names looking for the odd ones. I mean Sh'itt could also be s'hit, and so on. There's no way for a common screening to catch every possible connotation.

Man...
If I had started this thread BranFlakes would have been all over me in a spit instant.
Sooooo many choices...
Sooooo few chances.

Does this thread have a point? I once knew a physician whose name literally meant F***** in German (and he lived in Germany). Not only that, many completely normal words in other languages sound like English profanity. With hundreds of alien cultures who have voiceboxes like ours stuff like that would be bound to happen. And I don't want to know what kind of dirty words Jon'son, S'mith and Clarrk are in Romulan or Ferengi.
FKA K-Tar, grumpy Klingon/El-Aurian hybrid. Now assimilated by PWE.
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
I've got a Tellarite systems engineer called Sega. (Also, on one toon, a Rigelian bridge officer with the possibly unfortunate name of Fukoo. Well, never mind.)
The random generator will sometimes throw out some inappropriate sequences. Well, small things amuse small minds... I have a small mind... I'm amused. :P
The best one I got so far was a common Ferengi named "Derpo"

"No. Men do not roar. Women roar. Then they hurl heavy objects... and claw at you." -Worf, son of Mogh
"A filthy, mangy beast, but in its bony breast beat the heart of a warrior" - "faithful" (...) "but ever-ready to follow the call of the wild." - Martok, about a Targ

yes, but there is no way to get rid of Sh'itt when it happens.

Not a real offensive name, but I have one named Adolfo Adolfo Adolfo. He's Adolfolicious.

I had one named [Jamison Forrest Terrible] as well. Was kinda scary...
Why not settle for a Wg'Wam instead?
Haven't seen her since the name-shuffle of a year or so ago though..
