Because she wanted her characters to have cute names or something. I added the event so that when I talked to the priest, the characters were renamed and the save window immediately popped up.
The game's install file as of September 6th has this issue corrected, so if you downloaded and installed it since then, there's no worry. If you didn't download and install the game since then, but your characters have not been renamed, then you can just simply download and re-install the game over your existing copy.
And finally, if your characters have been renamed, download and re-install the game, and also email me the save file so I can correct their names:
