I'm with Mark here.

I think the right thing to do is to file an RFE with Postorius to have
the "link new address" screen "suggest" the existing display names,
but not automatically add any.

Also have a "inherit user name" value in the list.  Despite the way I
lean above, this could be default.  But definitely EIBTI (@aditya
"explicit is better than implicit") -- we should not take None for
"carte blanche".
