What problem does this address?

Related to

The ability to add custom names to blocks is great! But it may lead to confusion if users name a group by a different block name (like "Columns", for example).

What is your proposed solution?

One idea would be to still include the official block name after the custom name, like "My Custom Name (Group)" or use a visual label.

Personally I think the icon is enough here. I would also like to see reports of this being a problem in real world usage.

I recall this being discussed on the original PR in #53735 (or perhaps an earlier iteration) and we agreed that there wasn't a strong enough reason to add it in.

That's not to say it cannot happen, but rather that - as Andy says - we should collect more feedback and validate the problem before applying this as the solution.
