I don't know if Matrix protocol suports this to save contact's metadata to server. Anyway (server or local) I wish to customize the locally shown names of each contact, including mine (not public).

It is possible to save custom private (i.e. not exposed to other users) information on the server in the section called "account data". I would prefer having custom aliases supported across clients though; so this feature is pending on the changes in Matrix client-server API, such as proposed in MSC3015.
