False Positives on name filters

I’d like to report what appears to be a false positive in FC 27’s player-name filter.

I am trying to use “Black” as my created player’s surname, but the game rejects it as inappropriate.

“Black” is a well-established and common surname, including among real-world professional footballers and other public figures. In this case, it is plainly being used as a family name rather than as offensive or abusive language.

I understand why EA needs filters to prevent genuinely inappropriate player names, but blocking legitimate surnames such as “Black” appears overly broad and stops players from using ordinary real-world names.

Could the moderation or filtering team please review “Black” for use as a surname, or consider a system that allows legitimate names to be whitelisted when the automated filter produces a false positive?
