Actually, that's one that irks me - given that it seems like a majority of MP players want renaming turned on, couldn't the default be switched on that?

I agree the default should be turned on... the naming convention done by the game is not exactly the brightest.

I think it underscores the dronelike nature of leaders and units in a wargame, no matter how hard you try to give them personality. Ironically, some leaders are so identical and so dronelike that you don't even bother to rename them because they're all exactly the same, with absolutely no variety whatsoever.
