Gamerule "ShowPlayerNames" True/False

We all want to be able to roleplay in minecraft, whether it be consistent or not, but what really gets in the way is Playernames. If we're with our friends, we know what they are already, and even on servers, the admin can just quickly "zoop/zoop" the gamerule on/off. I can't add much more to this but I believe that adding the ability to toggle the visibility of playernames would greatly benefit things such as roleplay.

 

Edit: u/swithinboy59 on reddit suggested that if this is implemented, pressing f3 if the gamerule is on "false" should allow players to see other's names if they're unfamiliar with the person.

    Well it should be /gamerule showPlayerName not /gamerule ShowPlayerNames, just to keep consistancy. I still voted ofcourse!

    I really want that too because I'm making Redstone/command block minigames and in some of them it is needed that the player names are turned off. It would also be a great this for role playing and other things. (if you add it to Java, also add it to bedrock please because I play on bedrock)
