We've all made our guardians just how we want them; they're the class we want them, the race we want them, and they have the face we want them to have. It'd be a subtle, yet great customisation option if we could name them.
It shouldn't show as a display name though, it should only be visible to others when they inspect your character.

Could just be how Mass Effect 3 does their multiplayer, you can name your character and leave it at that. It'll only be visible to you and only you.
