Description

I want the people I know to appear using their names, not whatever random KeyBase username they've chosen or been assigned. This doesn't seem possible in the current UI (2.8.0-20181023171250+c7287208b0 on macOS, 2.7.4-20181009145447+8dd7ab9792 on iOS).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current people UI on macOS and iOS, using the versions reported in the issue as historical context. Define how custom names should be stored and displayed instead of Keybase usernames, then verify the behavior in both platforms.
