Ship names

Having played several games, I have created multiple new ship designs in the ship yard with new and varied names. Is there a way to clear out these past names I used and start fresh. My ship yard has a crap load of names showing up and we still don’t have a way of organizing them alphabetically like you do under fleets. If my only option it to play wack a mole using the obsolete a ship design button “X” at the lower right in the choose next ship to construct screen.
