If they offend you, petition them.

This is probably why the petition queue seems endless though. People are soooo sensitive. :/
I think it is more because people often pretend to be offended, where really they don't care at all.
Still, if offence is genuine, a petition is the correct course of action.

You know the rules and you know what your chosen name means.
Unless you're not the only one speaking that language, you might run into troubles you could have avoided easily.
The GM care about those rules to keep the game available for young people too.
It is, however, perfectly possible to unknowingly pick a name that is offensive in a language you do not speak.
Maybe the last survivor of a lost tribe in South America may find the name "Tachy" to be an outrage of the highest proportions .. should your character name be changed?

The rules are there for me too.
If the GM working on the petition decides that my name breaks the rule and has to be changed, I'd have no problem with it. It would hurt a bit after using the name for about 20 years in different games.
In games under the hood of SOE and Blizzard, your name would break the rule of 'No trademark allowed'. A friend had to change his name because it was a brandname in India. *shrug* Here it is good for a chuckle seeing you flying under the banner of a moderately priced cosmetic brand.
Except my name has no relation to that cosmetic company, popular though that misconception may be in those with little or no sci-fi culture.

@Avon: Boats and tires? Didn't know about those. Good to know.
A neighbour sold the beauty products, and she always gave some teasers to my parents.
Well, I actually picked it for something completely unrelated to any of those .. it comes from the greatest sci-fi TV series of all time!
