It shouldn't really come as a surprise that when you strip ship-names down to first name only, it does exactly that.
The solution that seems to me to be easiest to handle and most straightforward is to make the cases where you want to keep two word names into one word names before doing the 'first name only' line. (Assuming there aren't a huge number of such cases.) Then you can change them back to two word names afterwards--or not if you want to save some typing.
Code:
replace_metadata:
## Make these two word names one word before the
## 'first name only' line.
ships_CHARS=>Lily Luna=>Lily_Luna
ships_CHARS=>Albus Severus=>Albus_Severus
## strip each ships char down to first name only
ships_CHARS=>^([^ ]+).*$=>\1
## Change the two words names back into two words (if desired)
ships_CHARS=>Lily_Luna=>Lily Luna
ships_CHARS=>Albus_Severus=>Albus Severus
Alternatively, remove the space instead of using underscore:
Lily Luna=>LilyLuna
