This could be done by account_data, both per-room (for overriding m.room.name and membership names within rooms) and globally (for overriding user displaynames globally)
(Imported from https://matrix.org/jira/browse/SPEC-427)
Edit (richvdh 2020/08/11): I think this feature is asking for the ability to set local displaynames for rooms and other users, that are not shared with other users. For example, I might want to set a displayname of "Mum" for my mum, while her public displayname remains unchanged.
