Channel Display Name option?
I've seen this requested feature a lot, option to add a display name? (just like with Twitter, there's a display name, and an @username)
Good way to deal with username snipers, generic words & common names such as "Jake" or "Jacob" are already being used of course, but if someone named "Jacob" creates a username such as /Jacob_535455 then it just looks messy for a channel name, so yeah, a display name should be an option too (it's already on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, Steam, you name it, so it'd be a good idea for here too)
For LIVE notifications, it should still say "@Jacob_535455 just went LIVE" (or something similar) to prevent confusion with someone else named Jacob

This is also espeically useful for people who are known by different names in different places. for example, musicians with aliases or people who participate in online fandoms but also have a non-fandom online presence. What might also be an option is an optional "title" that displays next to the display name on your profile and in chat
