I'm sure this is a no brainer, but I haven't played any multiplayer games yet and I've not been able to find the answer anywhere.
Can other players see what you rename your fleets to?

No. They do not see fleet names
They see design names (within a fleet) as <Hull name> <design count for that hull> (e.g. Destroyer (4)) until they "see" the design (through combat, transfer or WM bonus) then they see the design name (eg Sweeper).
...you can play games with your design names to make things harder for your enemies though...eg Call your Destroyers "Scout (4)" or "#3213"

I went looking for Jason's post in RGCS, to no avail. I did find this interesting idea, though:

You know what is more likely to force them into errors? Names they have seen before, but that apply to ships that don't exist anymore. They see "Little Beta Destroyer", check the design, and sure enough, it's a beta armed destroyer. Now, the next time they see that name, do they check to see if its the same? Usually not. They send a couple of Jihad cruisers to whoop up on your pitiful outdated fleet, only to get handed a can of whoopass by Juggernaut BC's.

Only if they didn't notice the different icons or the fleet mass or...   
So many Stars, so few Missiles!

The only thing which really annoy me when naming ships is when you name all your ships off numbers of such things which are impossible to remember correctly.
If you name a scout Scout (4) then I have no problems. I simply remember with time what the Scout (4) look like.
