Nope. I think it's partly because there's the chance of the new name that someone has chosen being already taken. I just tried it in my profile just now to be sure and my Profile name remained the same.
Pretty sure CBJ is floating about somewhere, you could ask him or on the Dev Chat.
And now TJ has to change AV's name in the fleet list.

You are a very, very cruel man X2-Eliah.
My fleet, which is being radically altered as we speak, is to be called:
Evil Ted's Stomping Crew

By the way, the two fleets are supposed to be spawned as Xenon and Argon.
I was wondering, won't the Xenon fleet be much more aggressive in the battle? It may be possible that by setting an offensive race vs. a defensive race, the one that gets the Xenon AI will get the first volleys, and his ships will be prone to hunt down and actively seek enemies, while the Argon one will just defend only when attacked. This might be relevant because different races have different 'morale' and 'fight skill' and 'aggression' settings for their pilots..
Could you do a test for this, please.
Perhaps a Xenon vs. Kha'ak would be better for balance purposes?

Kha'ak AI is IIRC a bit different to all the others, though...
X2-Eliah, that is a mean fleet! Why would you do that to us?

I'm curious how it would perform, and I didn't want to create the cookie-cutter "1M2, a few frigates, a few fighters" thing everyone else is doing.

You just usurped me as the largest fighterspam around  I hope you're not drawn against me, because that'll destroy TJ's PC if nothing else does!
Edit: Fleet updated to use up 1mill surplus. CIGs on Panter swapped for FAA, some Typhoon, Wasp and Mosquito missiles added. Only 133cr left!

I can hear Technojerk's CPU melting . Out of interest I ran my fleet vs X2-Eliah's. Needless to say, it included lots and lots of sitting around. Here is a savegame of it if anyone wants to give it a try.

Gee, that's not fighter spamming - it's TM spamming! Now, that's some new approach - well, I have to see what's happening in that savegame.

Myeah, TMs have the best price/docking point value - which incidentally shows that the pricing of TMs in X3:TC is really disbalanced against carriers and frigates.

Not necessarily, because all a TM is, is a flying hangar without anything really meaningful in the way of weapons or shielding. Carriers (plus Panther) provide lots of shielding for their fighters to hide behind, and capital-grade weaponry to assist them with.
I do think M1s are distinctly overpriced (and the Panther hugely underpriced) though. The M1 really needs a bit more strength, either in weaponry (to make a battlestar-type ship) or in shields/cargo bay (for a proper, defensive fleet carrier). The only M1 I really like is the Hoshi because it's so fast - faster than most M7s!

By the way, if you guys really think it will lag down Technojerk's computer, I don't mind changing it to about 50% of the shipcount (with alterations).. So if it is necessary, just say so.
But I'd like to retain this config if possible

I'd started with 370+ Harriers with MDs and well there were that many scripts trying to run it was a bit like a busy sector on 10x Seta with ships freezing - After that we'd discussed a ship cap and going further to say hangar space for every ship - Whereas your fleet does comply with the rules I don't know what whether the combat would be meaningful or not. - IF it doesn't freeze TJs computer I think it should be good to go.

You just took the opposite route I did, I tried to cram it down to as few ships as possible while still remaining viable. Now I'm curious as to how my little fleet would fair going at it with your fleet (ie would the ssc I'm mounting take out enough of you're fighters, it could be an interesting question methinks.)

I think it's probably fine if he's got a reasonably powerful machine - it's all taking place in a single sector universe with nothing going on in the background (no NPC economy, etc). My only reservation is that a fleet should have a flagship, if only because it'll look better for the video - hundreds of fighters are going to be effectively invisible.
Doesn't need to be an exorbitantly expensive M1 or M2; I rather think people, including myself, who have gone for that option have possibly shot themselves in the foot - think theres a good chance this thing will be won by whoever has the best fighter swarm & you can get a huge number of fighters for the price of an M1 or M2.
However just a single M6 or M7 to act as a flagship would make it look more like a proper fleet (rather than a rabble) & produce a more interesting video to watch. Personally went for the most expensive M2 in the game because I'd much rather have a spectacular defeat than a dull victory.
