The display name would stick out like a sore thumb. Either it’s the only one with an @instance.name on it, or it’s the only one with 2 @instance.names.

Which front end would show both names? On (mobile and desktop) web and in Jerboa I only see the display name if it's set. And the only limitation seems to be that a leading @ is not allowed.
