Would it be possible to change the names of people joining your server that have these short names to something like the above? I think that might work out.
In TFC this is exactly how we did it, we had a pool of 50 odd names that were like "[noname] I. P. Freely". This was because we could change someone's display name (and how the server recognized them) in our server without changing their name on their computer. With the source engine it isn't that simple and the names are not stored server side. We have no way of changing someone's name without executing a command on the client's machine, and we try to avoid that at all costs. I've had multiple conversations with the SourceMod team about this issue.
