Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My users have been confused by the naming convention of shared calendars. If I say, create a calendar called Attendance and share it with a group, my users will see a calendar called Attendance (James) in their client. Many users don't understand that the name of the calendar is unique to them because it goes against their experience of shared resources so they don't attempt to rename it for fear that it will affect everyone.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the option for the calendar name to be unchanged from what I choose when I share it.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Allowing a "share name" pre-populated with the current behavior but editable by the sharer would be an alternative. This would be a one-time option at the point of creation so it might create confusion for sharers.

Start by tracing how shared calendar names are produced and displayed for recipients. Compare the requested unchanged name with the proposed editable share name alternative, then define the expected behavior and coverage for calendar creation and sharing before implementation.
