You can custom name ships and the core ships are listed separately. Why can we not do this for modules? This is leading to confusion for me already because I have two different 1.00MW reactors, one designed for 2000K outlet and another for 2700K outlet, and they end up with the nondescript names "1.00 MW Thermoelectric Fission Reactor" and "1.00 MW Thermoelectric Fission Reactor 2".
I'd rather name them something like "TOPR-1M-2000 A" and "TOPR-1M-2700 A".

I very, very much agree! I currently have multiple engines that have the same type and exhaust velocity so are called the same, but have completely different thrust, mass and gimbals stats - things like that are quite confusing.
It would also help with merging different userDesign.txt files or tracking changed modules with external program.
And lastly, I would very much enjoy naming my modules for role play reasons. You just feel much more invested when you can give your new super reactor project your favorite mythological name or a silly acronym. Also this would allow to not delete old, outclassed and obsolete modules (that I do to reduce clutter) so that you can see how you have progressed later.

I understand that is already on the dev's to-do list. I wonder how many versions of a 10Mt nuke all named, "Deathy McDeath of death" we're going to see on day one of the release?

This would be really nice! As it stands I use a Mk#.# system for all of my ships and missiles by duplicating the ship or missile then renaming it. I really like being able to go back and look at what my ships started off as and then developed to. So I would definitely love the ability to rename my engines and everything else! Not only would it be nice to see progression but it would be amazing if we can name things the way we want to and it would make it much much easier to share designs with others.

I do the same thing with the "MK-xxx" system. I used it in another game I played for years, Star ruler, and it's very fun being able to go back and review player-generated designs to see the evolution of a particular class of ship/system.
