Regarding in-game Ship Renaming

Hello, thanks in advance for your time.

I have noticed that some of the pre-programmed planet/star/ship names exceed the 13 character limit imposed in-game.  Is there a way to modify the in-game renaming process so I can use more than 13 characters for ships and planets?  I ask because renaming a ship something obvious like USS Enterprise uses too many characters.

Any way, I know its a silly question, but some of us in the modding section have been scratching our heads on this one.
