Description
It would be nice to have private display names for devices (i. e. display names only visible to the user). With that you would be able to organize your devices without leaking information to the public (e. g. I have a certain way to identify my devices but I do not want these identifiers to be public).

Research direction
Start from the Matrix specification's treatment of device display names and identify where a user-private value would be defined. Done means the protocol behavior, visibility rules, and affected endpoints are specified clearly enough for implementation.
