Riot is a dumb name for a guild, but I think all of those entities have concluded along the way what you are too stupid to realize. There has to be more than a shared common word to make it copyright infringement.
Pussy Riot was sent to a Russian gulag to be fair.

To me it's a simple question: are we trying to recreate EQ circa '99-'01 here, or are we not.

Because whatever the name policy says, it's clear from the names in-game that we are not.

Name policing other people is dumb. You just can'y have fun unless you ruin everybody else's.

The naming policy, followed to the letter, is overly strict I agree. And if everyone followed it we'd all have boring, generic, undecipherable vowel barf names.
