Names based on professions are something that exists in real life. "John Smith" and "John Potter" are fine but "John Maintenance" is not? "John Maintainer" ought to be, following the earlier pattern.
In any case, this is inconsequential. I don't think the admin should've bothered a player over something as insignificant as the guy having a slightly wacky name on LRP.
I have a confirmed grand total of 1 merged PR. That basically means I'm a c*der now.

No deviations allowed. All must know the meta. All must power the game.
I ahelped the guy because he was being very deliberate and annoying about his OOC in IC. People seem to conflate LRP with NRP for some reason and he just wouldn't shut the fuck up about how "this is an LRP server" and to "stop being cringe"(for calling him out on this shit).
Wine actually brought up that he thought the name was very OOC too, and I agreed with him but didn't say too much further than that.

At what point does someone's refusal or failure to improve become malice in and of itself? If you give someone a year to stop shitting on the carpet and they keep doing it but get slightly closer to the bathroom every time and sometimes they get to the toilet before it happens, at what point does it become acceptable to just ask them to go shit in someone else's house?

Indeed. They made a bunch of comments regarding "LRP" and "MRP". This was clearly unacceptable. Then I noticed their name was, for me, to OOC

Pointless to be honest. Maintenance could very well be a last name for a spaceman that’s worked in several generations in maintenance, sorta like “Carpenter” or I don’t know “Smith” except the spaceman equivalent.
I really don’t find the name excessively OOC personally.

We've got 540 years of history for it to happen in. What's to say that someone didn't break away from an abusive family, and wondering how to make a name for himself, named himself after his profession like the folks of yore.
Honestly, the only reason I'm even half-way on it is because "John (Thing)" is like, a Meme. John Nanotrasen, John Halo for Master Chief, etc etc. The surname itself is fine.

Did you purposively not read the "a different cultural era" bit?
Also, if someone said this in an ahelp instead of "NUH-UH MUH NAME NNNGHHHHH" I might even consider it being a valid name.

Rick Station is a bit OOC because the game is literally called "Space Station," but "Joe Skyscraper" sounds totally fine. I don't think anyone is running into Joe Skyscraper and having their immersion ruined.
The wackier your name is the more effort you should put in to masquerade it. Get funky with it. I named a prisoner "Briggs Jail Prisonperson" and others loved it. I didn't choose "John Prisoner" or "John Perma" (though I will admit Perma is kind of a cool last name)
All I'm saying is that everyone says my names are redonkulous so I can't rule on naming policy but I've only ever been jannied on one name.
(It was Jimmy Pneumonoultramicroscopicsillicovulan if you're wondering, for a plasmaman, and honestly that was a very fair intervention)

Nah, I'm just on the belief that the cultural era part doesn't matter. As Humanity went galactic, different planets and the like would develop their own cultures (compare modern culture to 500 years ago, and there's a big shift! Hell compare modern to even 100-200 years ago!) sure, there isn't really any modern culture that still operates like that (I think? I might be wrong, I'm not particularly worldly), but given said timegap and the creation of new cultures, both as combinations of others, and not, I don't think it factors in too much.

There is a 550 year gap between the in-game date and present date. A similar time gap between when those names came into common use and today.
Best not assume history is a continuous development forward and upward from point A to B, but more of a wibble-wobble of innovation and decline, varying throughout the globe. And, in the hypothetical future of living in space, galactic scale variance of circumstance could result in this practice re-emerging. Especially with the advent of cloning tech and temporal weirdness.
