Name Change in PM's
Suggestion
Essentially I want there to be an option to set your username to something specific when you are private messaging someone. I know you can your name to whatever you want on a particular server whenever you want however in pm's I am not sure if you are able to. Sure you can change your username and that will work however this can be a bit of a pain when you are doing it multiple times a day or even multiple times within an hour. Also, you are limited in the frequency that you can perform a username change.
How the problem arose
The reason I am having to change my username so frequently is because my university has things like office hours and TA help sessions and such on discord. Now I am logged into discord pretty much all the time because I talk and play games with my friends on it too. So when I go to class no big deal I can change my name on the server and I'm good. However when I pm my professor (or anyone at my school) having to change my username/alias each time is kind of a pain. Overall I just want this change so I can keep my life inside and outside of school separate and try to stay a little bit anonymous on the platform.
Why not just use two accounts?
Now I could just make a new account and just swap between the two. However, If I get a pm from one of my friends, classmates, TA's, or professors. Depending on which account I am on I am just not going to see one of them. If I just keep everything on one account I can see whatever message I may get and can respond while knowing that I am remaining professional or that my full name isn't being leaked to whomever I am talking too.
