You can type in whatever name you want in that slot, and if you don't Bernard von Unfal will be the name you always get in U-Boat Missions.

Bernard von Unfal (actually the correct spelling is 'Unfall') means Bernard the Accident, and is the devs' take on an old Subsim joke which originated six years ago here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=84773

Bernard has become the catch-all loser we blame when we screw up in the game, and the devs rolled with that when they created the U-Boat add-on for SH4.

If you enjoy the U-boat side of things I urge you to take a look at Silent Hunter 5 now as well. DRM has been relaxed and with the mods you can download from here is a wonderfully enjoyable and playable U-boat sim now.
Are you saying that you do not have to play SH5 online anymore?? This was the only reason I never picked up a copy.

The joke is in that very first post by Dowly, "Bernard is dancing on the pole again." It was nothing at the time, but people started using "Bernard" as who we blame when we do something stupid ourselves, and he has been used so much that when the devs made SH4 they made the default name 'Bernard von Unfal'. That's the joke.
