When you reform your empire and your empire name auto changes it also changes your ship prefix, cool in theory but I always change my name back to what it was. Is there a way I can keep the ship prefix too?
Change ship prefix midgame?

You can edit your save. There is no other way to change your Ship Prefix in an ongoing game for some insufferable reason probably related to the equally ridiculously absurd reason why you can't change or even decide on Monarch/Heir names.
Search through the save for your Empire Name, or for the "country={" entry because the Player Empire should be first. Then search for "ship_prefix" and the one it takes you to should be your Prefix. Modify it to what you want, then recompress your save game files (both of them) into a .sav archive with 7zip while specifying the parameter 'tc=off'.

Not yet, unfortinately.
It is planned to be added.
Luckily the whole thing will largely become non-issue with the Government reworks for 1.5, as there are no more "Advanced" Governments that will change your name.
