Proposed change
Allow for storing a custom display name with individual device consumptions for energy dashboard. This allows users for a cleaner and less cluttered dashboard, as entity ids for energy devices often have terms like "Energy", "Consumption", "Daily", "Weekly", "Total", etc which are not relevant for the energy dashboard, but may still be wanted as part of the entity name when looking at it out of the context of energy dashboard.
Also space is at a premium for smaller/mobile devices, and the visual display can be improved with shorter names to minimize space consumption of the legend.
