There is a profile named Male Death (GVGP-Q59), created in 2023. Using the FS website, I tried to remove the inappropriate first name (the last name is correct). When I attempted to save the name, an "Oops, something went wrong" error message was displayed:

Refreshing the page as suggested did not change the behaviour. I was able to change the name template, but I could not make any change to the first or last names.

I then tried the same thing on the Android app. That was successful. When I went back to the website, the change had been made. I then changed the first name back to Male on the website, successfully. Finally, I tried to remove the name again on the website, and again it failed. These changes are visible in the change log. I have left the profile in that state for the engineers to look at.

I have also tried to reproduce this on a living profile with the same name on the website. That worked fine.
