Confusing Restricted Names

[Senevir]

I'm sure many of you have attempted to name a character or something other in game before, only to be told that it simply won't be allowed. Most of the time, that reason is probably clear.

That being said, I went to rename one of my airships, as I was sticking to a certain theme with the naming of them all. However, when I submitted the name, the game shot me down for it supposedly containing a forbidden word.
For the life of me, I can't understand why or what that is.
Does anyone know of a reason why the name "Thule" should have been rejected? I in the end settled for an alternate spelling (Thoule).

I'd also like to hear any other innocent names people have submitted that have not been allowed.

Search Thule Society. It has a most colorful history. Explaining it(or even linking it) here might get a ban.

Be idiotic if they did considering Thule is one of the worlds foremost outdoor equipment brands too. A simple google search will spit out the brand before anything to do with far right nationalist groups.

Yeah true, but that might be for NA google. Its probably different for JP google, or some other country.

Plus it might be overkill, but they might just want to get rid of the words that might be problematic. Like some stuff that we don't find offensive might be highly offensive in other languages. Its the problem with globally launched games.

EDIT: Also it might be what google knows that you look for. I've done military history stuff in the past so its right up top.

Always worth taking into consideration.
I was curious (especially since I don't use Google) so I tested this and I saw 0 search results about N*zi, almost everything was about that Swedish outdoorsman brand, and the single result that wasn't was a Wikipedia article about old world cartography:

Same.

Brings up the company, and companies selling them for me. As well at the group that owns the company.

I absolutely detest blanket bans on words with obscure meanings. Or innocent words in other languages getting nailed because it's spelled as an inappropriate word in English. See: Swedish.

It can be seen as a reference to NAZI trash is what Thaciscokidd is trying to avoid saying

Wow, I'd never even heard of that before.
I could understand "Thule Society" as a phrase being banned, but not just the word on its own.

It's also the name of a fictitious Greek island. I wouldn't have even guessed there was any other meaning.

Yeah like their symbol use to be on everything because in ancient Sanskrit it use to mean good fortune before it was used by them. You tarnish something too badly it can never be recovered.

I made Moses one time and when I tried to name him Moses it wouldn't let me so I had to name him Oldtestament Prophet.

I wasn't trying to mock Christians or Jews, I respect Moses cause he was one of the coolest people in The Bible, I made him a highlander and all that and played BLM cause it's the closest weapon to a staff like Moses used in The Bible to part the sea for the Israelites to escape Pharaoh and he used it to out do the Egyptian Sorcerers' when they cast their rods as snakes and cast his and it ate em up.
