/name item & /name entity command

(Bedrock edition)

There have been similar suggestions for a /name command, but the capabilities mentioned were limited and poorly explained.

I propose a /name command with two main syntaxes: /name item & /name entity

/name item would work in a similar way to /replaceitem, allowing you to rename items in a specific slot of a container or an entity's inventory.

/name entity would allow you to rename entities, including players. It would also have a /name entity <target> action <prefix|suffix> syntax that allows you to add a prefix or suffix onto an entities current name. /name entity should also have the ability to add|remove|modify custom below name text for each player, like the scoreboard setdisplay belowname.

  YES
  I have had the exact same idea
  I don't want to have to place down an anvil to name something real quick.
  This is very well done, the only thing is, I don't know how I feel about renaming players (especially since mojang did the thing with the player name data lol), I feel like that could go wrong easily (and yes, I am aware that mojang can often have this attitude about things and it kind of seems... a bit stupid. But I think that if mojang did what they did with the player name data, then they probably won't like doing this).
  Also, please make it so the item command works something like this: "/name item 'ItemName' " * " 
  One last thing, maybe add some variation to the command where you can edit the Item description?
  
  Bring back the firefly,

  * 'entity/block Item is in', I'm not that good at commands, so i'm not totally sure how that would work
