I made a thread about this in another subforum - I didn't realize this thread existed. Yes, this should definitely be implemented. I hate having my (long) name right in the middle of the screen, serving no purpose but an ugly distraction. Often I turn off all names, only because I want my name off. I imagine this would be a very quick addition to the game.

Not to mention - the fact our names spaz out shake violently when going up or down slopes would be another selling point to add this feature.
