Feature description

Mullvad already does this. It provides automatically names for all your devices.

Safe, anonymous, they are a meaning only for the owner but not for all others.

Just an hint for names: I have chosen Norwegian villages as database.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_villages_in_Norway

Some device's names examples: Breidvik Egge Kalvåg

If You don't like Norwegian villages names you can using what you want.

I don't see any worth in adding this feature since it would require to mantain a feature which has no particular benefit, since the user themselve is able to name linked devices whatever he wants.
