Its funny what gets through, and what doesn't. All of my toons, and pets, names are band names. Thus, every character i have in the game is in violation of a trademark. Yet I have never had one not work, or been asked to change anything.

It's mostly down to what the horrible filter will pass and what people report, i know (rather "knew") a guy named Donkeypunch, after he trolled a Wintergrasp by just getting a catapult and taking a scenic drive, he had to change it the next day. Another guy I know named Títties, a rarely used alt, never had to change his name.

My Ravager's name is Mòneyshot and it's worked out okay so far.

Be creative. Nobody is going to find a beer name to be so offensive that they feel the need to report you. Honest.

I know a guy that names all of his toons after black metal bands. Then again, most black metal bands aren't exactly well-known so it's not like Blizz would realise. On the other hand, my DK's original name was Côcacôla, and I never had any problems.

I hardly think Blizzard have someone namechecking everyone. They check those who gets reported, and those who do excessively well. If you are part of the 0,5 % top PvP'ers in the game, I can assure you that you will see a forced namechange if you called your pet Assbag or your character Côcacôla.
They have about 11 million accounts. Each account can hold 10 characters. That's anywhere between 11 million and 110 million characters, and it would really surprise me if the average character count per account is less than 5. No one in their right mind would attempt to check out all of them for copyrighted/trademarked material. Checking the top bracket of PvP and PvE, and those who get's reported, is an entirely different scenario - So for a mostly unused alt, it's not surprising no one ever noticed.

Umm... It is 50 per account, 10 per realm.
On topic: My friend had a pet named ComeHonorFace, but they made him change it

I tried to name
Sambas
"Adidas"... Alas, I got the "That name is *NUH UH!*" warning from the game.
