Special Namedisplay for HighRR Players - Will this become annoying?

It is pretty early for this suggestion, but i wanted to talk about it before it becomes a problem. Or maybe it isn't even seen as a problem by most.
What i am talking about is the change in the display of names for High-RRs. I believe it starts at RR12 (EDIT: i wrongly assumed it to be earlier, if it starts at RR12 this is probably still a looong way before many have it) and then your name gets shown instead of your race, to enemies that click you in RvR.
It makes sense if it is a rare occurence and the respective playernames really are known by everyone because they have been RvRing for months/years on the server. On this server it will go much faster though and it will probably lead to annoying situations once a huge % of the RvRing playerbase reaches high-RRs in a few months (if enough people stick to a char that long...maybe it will be a non-issue because many quit before anyways).
When there was the high-RR event in beta, where everyone got that high-RR immediatly for free it was a huge PITA. Especially paired with the low-distance-nameplate visibility.

Question: what do you think about this in general?
IF it is deemed as a problem, what do you think could be changed to avoid this?

-the required RealmRank for the custom-name-display could be moved to a higher RR completely
-the required RealmRank for the custom-name-display could be moved according to the RR advancement of the high-grps on the server
-the custom-name-display could disregard RealmRank but be connected to the #rank of individual players (aka top 1% or top10 of each realm of the server get the custom display)
-like above but split regarding class

Name diplay should be at rr12.

I think your realmrank in rvr should never be visible to other realms, certain stealthers wont even touch certain classes with a rr higher than 3+ no point in making it even easier for certain people to pick their fights because of that. It also takes away a tactical choice of not using bp skin on your gear to make you look like a relativ new lvl 50 and a rp pinata, you would prlly get a lot more fights without that. It could be made a toggle option for people which take pride in their rr and want to show it off and for those who dont.

I think it could be a problem. If I am selecting a target and I see a person's name I am assuming they are in my realm.
