All the greedy corporations patented/trademarked the majority of nouns in the english language. For you to use them could get sony in big trouble.

I'm sorry youll just have to use truncations or abbreviations or radical mispellings.

To overcome the intelligent by folly is contrary to the natural order of things; to overcome the foolish by intelligence is in accord with the natural order. To overcome the intelligent by intelligence, however, is a matter of opportunity. There are three avenues of opportunity: events, trends, and conditions.

The other day the vendor wouldn't let me name it "bio enhanced clothing" or any of several other variations

I finally ended up with "BE Clothing" I think...I wonder why they won't let you use some words you need ot describe the goods you're trying to sell? >_<

You'd think that they'd at least let you name it after something they own the name to.

It made me insane trying to figure out why I couldn't name my vendor "Tatooine Sunburn in Crates"

I suspect they use a similar name filter to the one for player names:fewer restrictions on number of words & punctionation, etc, but the same restrictions on what the words actually are. I doubt it's because of trademark restrictions, though they might limit the use of words like Coke, Nike or Disney simply on principle!

My 'Mos Eisley Plains General Store' vendor was rejected - far as I can tell, both "Eisley" and "General" are not allowed by the filter. Would explain why 'Tatooine' wasn't allowed, but I can't see anything wrong with "Bio Enhanced Clothing"!
