Yes, I noticed the same before the latest patch, randomly added races will pick a random designnames file, very annoying if you use a specific designnames file for your own race and keep getting "this name is already used" error Messages when creating ships because 3 other empires have randomly chosen the same file for use.

I once had a empire use a readme file wich I accidently copied into the designnames directory, they started naming their ships "copy all files in the races directory 001" and more things like that.

must be a bug..
