      Description

      Right now profiles have one field (referred to as "name" in the profile editing interface and "title" in the profile management list). This field is used internally to refer to the profile, and it's also the profile's display name when included in a webpage.

      Our implementation (FSF) has multiple profiles that need to be titled "Name and Address" on our signup and contribution pages. It's annoying that they also all have the same name when we go to the internal CiviCRM profile management system. I know that they each have a number, but that's not great as the only unique identifier for the profile.

      I would love it if profile had a "display title" field that was separate from their internal name.
