Description
Time ago I asked the possibility to have multiple long-term addresses remained today without any implementation.
However I have the need to rename my long-term address to know from which "channel" a connection request comes.
Just adding a name field, that I can fill like "Job", "University", "Yoga group", "Jennifer' birthday party", etc.
Since long-term addresses can be trashed exactly like disposable ones, the advantage I get is that I can use them multiple times before I trash them. Useful for the suddenly organized parties, to publish a job advertisement, or any occasion that needs to combine the multiple usage with the ability to throw it away when no longer needed.
I hope the multiple long-term addresses will come too in the next SimpleX versions.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing long-term-address creation, display, and trash flows, then determine how naming and multiple reusable addresses would fit across the clients; done means users can distinguish, reuse, and remove multiple named long-term addresses.
