I'm just starting battle fleet gothic but I am a bit confused with the ship entries where it states that X ship was equipped with certain weapons etc and can be upgraded for X points but I want to give my ships my own names so could I give my ships the upgrade aswell or would I have to give the ship the name stated to be able to give it the upgrade?

Most people allow the upgrades no matter what the ship is named; you might find some sticklers, but they're in the minority.

Ok thanks alot.

I think the idea is to limit the number of 'upgraded' ships that you can field at once. So as long as you don't try to field 4 identical cruisers with the same upgrade, when only a single named ship is supposed to have it, I'd think you would be fine.

Note there is also a new version of BFG coming online. According to the Specialist site the PDF will be coming down this month. Supposedly its just the old version incorporating the FAQs and Experimental rules that are already on the site.
