I now leave the table open for your views.
Im fine with the GM's deciding what names are offensive and not. Usually people that pick offensive names do it for the attention they get anyway. Doesnt really bother me if they have to seek attention in other ways. 
Edit: And its not enough that one person complains about it... the GM's have to agree that it can be found offensive as well. I doubt they would agree that Jim McGregor is a offensive name for example.

Or CCP could give us templated names during character generation like in Second Life? We choose the first name and pick the second name from CCP's list.
Or maybe people could use their own judgement. Sometimes I wonder if some people would survive ordinary life if they werent told what to do every day.

Yes, its probably up to the GM handling the case to decide if he agrees or disagrees that the name is offensive. And opinions here will vary of course. Im still fine with it. Pick a name that noone can find offensive and you'll be fine. And as for the clan McGregor... if there is such a thing, they should be flattered I picked a name that great, shouldnt they?

IMHO, everybody needs to be told what to do daily. If they don't, nothing will ever get done. The kind of ordinary life where you do not need to be told what to do everyday is to lie down on the bed doing nothing everyday.
Not if you love what you do. There is plenty of people in the world who likes their lifes and what they work with, and they are usually highly motivated, skilled people that dont really enjoy someone else telling them what to do all the time. People are just different. :)

TBH, I think the worse are the highly motivated people. They tend to keep doing something again and again until they are acceptable to their own standards. Wasting their organisations' time and their own time. Sometimes, you really need to order them to have the task done and go to next.
You have a camera in my office or something?
Guilty as charged. Sometimes. :)
