I really enjoy spending time thinking of names for my ships, even though I think only about 10% or so of the people who fly past even see my ships' names. This... 'issue' could, I think, be mitigated by adding the ship names to the killboard -- not the ship TYPE (Rifter etc), as this is already displayed. For example, take my unfortunate loss of a Malediction:

Corp: Dreddit
Alliance: Test Alliance Please Ignore
Faction: None
Destroyed: Malediction
Ship name: Redline Day
System: Hakonen
Security: 0.3
Damage Taken: 1309

Involved parties:

Name: Teron Radec (laid the final blow)
Security: -9.1
Corp: Enslave.
Alliance: GIANTSBANE.
Faction: None
Ship: Taranis
Ship name: Still Alive
Weapon: Light Neutron Blaster II
Damage Done: 1309

(rest of killmail omitted, you should be able to find it just fine on your own though)
(NOTE: shipnames are not accurate to what they actually were, 'cause I didn't have time between getting blown up and warping my pod out to check the shipname of his)

The newly added ship names added in bold. Yes? No? Doable? Too much policing names? After all, you can change your ship name in the blink of an eye and be rude with it (and I'm very well aware this will happen with the CFC should this get in).
