Description
I have over 500 eth address wallet accounts in metamask. I should be able to export the account names to a text file which I can then use to re-import the account names back into metamask at times when I have to remove and reinstall metamask, syncing metamask across browsers, or syncing metamask across machines.
It is a huge time drain to have to update the account names manually one by one for hundreds of accounts.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating where account names are stored and where accounts are managed in the extension, then trace any existing import or export patterns. Done means users can export hundreds of account names to a text file and restore those names after reinstalling or syncing.
