Did we run out of hero names? Why fictional character?

I doubt they even know about that. Even if they knew, I doubt they even care to change the name. We also have other fictional characters in our ship naming, KRI Hang Tuah and KRI Malahayati.

Hang Tuah is a fictional character, his story and feats is partly based on the true story of Admiral Abd al-Jamil (Tun Abdul Jamil who is a real historical figure) from Johor.

Keumalahayati / Malahayati is likely 20th century invention based on the book Oude Glorie. It is possible that Marie van Zeggelen based that character on an oral story of Acehnese heroine, but that doesn't mean she existed. Malahayati's feats cannot be colloborated with Dutch records. Like Hang Tuah, she could be based on a real person, but who that real person is unknown.

I think i finally understand why the name seems edited, it's because the new name overwrites the old one, and the fresh paint makes it look edited
