Description

I invited Amandine to an existing DM, and she got this:

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1294269/104619503-d9d22880-5685-11eb-8a6a-b9357af498bc.png)

We should be naming the invite using a synthetic room name if it has one, rather than just the name of the inviter.

Research direction

Start with the screenshot and the existing-DM invitation flow, then inspect how the invite text chooses the inviter name instead of a synthetic room name. Done means an invite to an existing unnamed DM identifies the conversation when a synthetic room name is available. The issue has no assignee or linked pull request, but its last comment was over 180 days ago.
