Will I get banned for my ship name?

well, this brings some attention to it

In current conditions I wouldn't roll with it, not really worth the risk to me and since it's worrying you I would go through the process of creating something less risky, even if it cost more gold or 5 bucks.

in reference to the original name in the post

Really since the devs are tightening restrictions so far they should either give out a temporary name change freebie, or at least a gold cost for a name change.
Surprising everyone by tightening naming standards beyond existing game content (no rare, removing that content retroactively doesn't change the situation) and then charging you $5 to not get banned is a scummy move.

@wolfmanbush I misremembered. I wanted to name her the first post, but didn’t want to push it even then so it was valiant not slippery

It's not my decision but I wouldn't worry much about the one you edited in.

Far more in the reasonable range and outside of the vulgar range imo but I don't make those decisions.

Imo the middle word is often the way to decide

valiant isn't a reference to anything dirty

seaman is just a part of sea life

a dirtier middle word is gonna be what makes or breaks it imo

and then using "e" instead of an "a" would also make a big difference.

This really depends on how much cracking down they are doing as most of this has just been things we have heard around and not necessarily confirmed.

Going off the the logs I have found when it comes to adult themes they lean towards lacking subtly. Less innocent and more blatantly edgy, considering the environment.

blinks in thought
If they are indeed tightening the "Family Friendly" aspect so it extends to minute things, then keep doing what you're doing Rare!

Family friendly isn't about controlling and enforcing harshly it's about creating a welcoming shared environment for different types of people.

It's reasonable to want to keep adult themes out of the ship names in a game where younger people participate. That's not justification to look for more control. It's about keeping it welcoming and safe, not strictly controlled and enforced in all areas.

Freedom of individuality and expression is as important here as it is anywhere. That doesn't mean everything goes but it does mean that leniency and freedom should exist in all places that it can.

@wolfmanbush What I was getting at is if they are indeed trying to get a firmer hold on the naming conventions by restricting names that are more cheeky, then I am all for it if it means that people will be feeling more reluctant to keep playing.

why would we want people to feel reluctant to keep playing?

all we need is for people to be considerate in a shared environment so as many people as possible keep playing.

Not really a reason to get personal over it, the goal should be to get more people to want to keep enjoying the experience so they don't struggle to follow the rules rather than trying to find ways to get people to go somehow else.
