I had this thing couple of times. I think It happens when you get you first vassal. For instance Mycon Collective changed to "Mycon Commonwealth"
It happens by design if you change your government (after building the empire capital complex etc.). I never saw it happen at game start or after getting a vassal...
Strange it's even happening with no mods. It's not only empire name but planet and star as well
Never personally seen planets or stars get renamed but I do know that your government name and ship prefix changes with every government type change for... some reason.
An option to disable that would be grand honestly- especially with the prefix thing. Quite annoying to go from the wonderful and aggressive-sounding "Imperial War Vessel" to "Ferril Naval Ship" in the middle of the game with no way of changing it save renaming all 200+ ships in my navy

In theory I think you could edit it in saves or make a mod to rename the prefix. In practice, having to do that to get back to a desired prefix...

I've seen it happen a few times. It's funny how little I actually pay attention to my own empire name and usually won't notice it until I zoom out to see the ful galaxy and only then notice my name is wrong. I never noticed the ship prefixes but again, hardly ever pay attention to that. As has already been said, it seems to happen after upgrading government forms but I wouldn't swear to that. It's easy to change back (the empire name at least) so it's not something that has really bothered me that much.
If you change your government form (even just to a more advanced form of itself) you do get the name and prefix randomly rerolled.
That should be impossible. Is that actually happening to your Player empire?
Or do you mix up random empires having the same population image as stock empires?
I guess there might be a "randomize this empires name on creation" setting in the Empire saved to the disk.

Only ever seen it with different government forms.
And the first time I notice my name changed, I got very, very annoyed by it but after like 5 min into a war I had completly forgotten about it and was purging all the xeno's I could come across in the name of whatever name I now had.
