Some random joe can appeal/report your name and claim they find it offensive. I believe, however, that it would have to actually contain something that a semi-reasonable person could see as profanity, racism, etc., to get changed. We all pointed out the potential fuk problem in Refrigerator's name. It wasn't, perhaps, readily apparent initially, but we all see the problem now even if we know there was no ill intent.
And as they've said, the policy is as much in beta as anything else in the game. It probably does need some tweaking. As with anything like this, send in a /suggest if you think it's too far, and then write them a clear, rational, fairly unemotional email or post.
And on top of that, there's judgement calls to be made by the GMs handling each individual case, and GMs are human, and can fall a little too far on the side of strictness or liberalality. As they grow more experienced, there will be less problems with judgement calls on policies that can never be completely defined.
