Description
I could really benefit from a feature to layer a custom display name over a model's underlying system name. I am catering to non-technical users that don't have a mental mapping of a model's name to how capable it is or what it's good at. I'd like to introduce custom naming in the model selector to help guide my users to pick the right model for the situation using naming that they comprehend.

Research direction
Start by locating the model selector and reading how model names are currently loaded and displayed. Determine where a custom display name can be configured while preserving the underlying system name. Done means users can choose models by the configured names and the existing model selection still works.
