There are a few ways for a solution:
a) offer the user to specify a name
b) read the instance name from Theming capabilities (might still be duplicate if left to default)
c) use login@domain.name as indicator
d) a) if set, b) when no duplicates, c) as fallback

Point a) already works, you can actually change the account description in the settings.

Oh, true :speak_no_evil: Didn’t spot it although looking at it often… blame me being tired while it being late.

Alas, while the share dialogue picks it up, the People app does not seem to respect it. It continues to show the adressbook like in the screenshot. Didn’t try a reboot (but that should not need to be necessary).

Thanks, created JB#53908 to track this one internally.
