It might be because you are editing in online mode. When you open the roster file the editor should ask if you are editing for online or offline. If you keep it online mode the editing is super sensitive and the names are limited to what is in the database.

I personally don't play APF online anymore so I fully edit the rosters for offline play. It's better in my opinion because the names in the database where pretty limited and I felt I would compromise names too often. It's just not as authentic feeling or close to the NFL rosters when the names are off.

Good luck editing.
