[feature request] using different nickanme (own) per friend

[eqn-group]

Hello,
i request the feature to use different names for each user, so everyone doesn't see my same name on qtox.

thanks

I think maybe there is a problem with your approach: who should you ask to change the name of a user who is already registered? For example, if there are three people named "Alice", which Alice should you ask to change her name? Or all of them?

I don't think this would be a problem if we could use a unique 'username' for a user and a 'nickname' that could be repeated with others and displayed at the same time. But this might involve users who are already registered, so it's also a bit tricky.

The underlying toxcore library does not support this. Which makes it not so easy. Also please change the title of the issue to something like "different name per friend" or something 👍

unique username ? but you can change your tox id to prevent spam.
I am saying, i want to use my different name for each friend, i.e. i want to change my name, not theirs.

I think this can be done by just broadcasting different nick to different friends ?
