Funny after a few years of playing, the name suddenly needed to be
changed.

It needed to be changed because it was in violation of the naming rules
and someone disliked it enough that they bothered to report it.

I'm curious though, what rule exactly does it violate?

I'd say that it could fall under rules 1 and/or 2 of the Inappropriate
section:

* Are mildly inappropriate references to human anatomy or bodily functions
* Are otherwise considered objectionable

It is a mildly inappropriate reference to defecating albeit not human...
I'm not sure if the bodily functions also needs to be human based on the
sentence above.

Ah, ok, didn't realise that section was there, sure I've seen plenty
worse though!

The second rule is kind of a catch all to allow the GM final decision on
any name that doesn't specifically fall into another category.

I'd say that "Cowpattee" could easily have been let go without action if
a different GM handled the complaint.

Yeah I'd consider it poor taste, not offensive.
