But client may want to show list of proposed names, not only one. Also
maybe at some time there will be an option in client to provide won
textfile with names to use (to save typing during gameplay) - it will be
easier if client will have array of names to choose from. And at last
(possibly most important) - it is a blocking request, which can be very
bad for client logic and suspectible to lags.
