Just discovered this:
Apparently a recent fix made it impossible for two empires to share the same name (can't start a new game with the same name of an existing empire), presumably to prevent false flag attacks or similar.
It seems whatever list is used to store these names isn't properly cleared after an empire abdicates, meaning that if an empire is destroyed or abdicates, its name can never be used again in that scenario. The same is true for emperor name.
Unsure if this is intended behavior?
Could potentially be abused by a player/bot rapidly creating and abdicating empires with popular names, "locking them out" permanently for that scenario.
Used empire and emperor name list not clearing after abdication?

Yeah this is a problem to me as well, I found it hard to search for empire name because the game said it is used by another player

What is the point of the Emperor Name anyways? No one gets to see it but you 
Fire, Fire, Fire;
Streaks of golden light,
Rays of cosmic waves crashing through still dead night.
Gifts of diamond rays,
Strewn pearls of days not measured,
Treasured gleaming quests fade through,
Absolute oblivion of infinite time of directionless direction.
And war died the day it noticed itself,
Peace, yet still dead, peace in the void of voids.
Upon a chance encounter,
The Life Tree came alight,
Strung with Golden-silver,
Dimensions of dimensions suddenly bright,
Collapsed under heavy night,
Reveal thy brilliant companion,
The Knife of Shadow-Light!
Strike down all that fight,
Yielding not to any might,
Striking down all in the deepest of night with their darkest fright.
Rays of cosmic waves crashing through still dead night.
Streaks of golden light,
Fire, Fire, Fire.
