Any help in this department would be appreciated. I know that SH4 would do a much better job with names than SH3 does, and I see no reason why SH5 would not be just as good, or even better, but I need to find out how to do it first.

What names are you talking about? Names as in the unit's name or names for available classes?
If you're talking about names for classes of units these can be found in \data\Roster\country name\Sea\class name.cfg. Here is an example from \data\Roster\German\Sea\AMCPenguin.cfg:
[UnitClass]
ClassName=AMCPenguin
UnitType=13
AppearanceDate=19280401
DisappearanceDate=19460417
DisplayName=GE AMC Penguin
[Texture 1]
TextureName=
LightmapTextureName=data/Sea/NAMC_Penguin/NAMC_Penguin_AO01.dds
NormalmapTextureName=
StartDate=19000101
EndDate=19441231
Frequency=1
[Texture 2]
TextureName=
LightmapTextureName=data/Sea/NAMC_Penguin/NAMC_Penguin_AO02.dds
NormalmapTextureName=
StartDate=19390901
EndDate=19451231
Frequency=2
[Unit 1]
Name=AMC Penguin
DOC=19330401
DOD=19400224
[Unit 2]
Name=AMC Penguin
DOC=19341112
DOD=19450409
[Unit 3]
Name=AMC Penguin
DOC=19360106
DOD=19391217
[Unit 4]
Name=AMC Penguin
DOC=19400225
DOD=19450417
If you're talking about names for units no names are given with stock game. My UIs mod attaches names to them though. I have a text file that I read the names from. A random name is generated for each unit in the game from that file. It's not a simple matter of attaching a name to a unit either. The names for the units only show in the radio messages box (in my UIs mod and I released a stand-alone version)
