I agree this token name confusion is not a plus and may linger for a long time. Just look at the people accidentally buying ETC.

Does anyone know the length limit for token names?

Ya, like people buying NEOS coins instead of NEO  Embarrassed Jeez, that would suck!

I found this about name lengths:
https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/25619/is-there-length-limits-on-token-symbols

It seems that it depends on the exchange. As Gleb Gamow said above about 8 character symbols being the max on YTC-Sox.

Maybe there isn't a max number of characters, but perhaps for display and formatting purposes, individual exchanges choose the number of characters that best fits in their display format.

Take a look at this post - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1859838.msg18498845#msg18498845 - to get a feel on how we'll handle ticker symbols (TicSym; plural = TicSyms).
