There are several problems with your suggestion.
- I have about 100 email-addresses moderators can use to send emails to 
the list. Staff is much smaller, but every staff-member has at least 
four email-addresses.... 100 lines of moderators break the layout of the 
sympa-templates, because thouse 100 lines are at the top of the menu and 
you have to scroll past those 100 lines to reach most "interesting" 
links in the menu
- I don't add/manage those moderators manually, but instead use an 
LDAP-query to accomplish this. When using external data-sources you can 
only select email-addresses, there is just no way (at least, no way I 
know about) to specify corresponding names. It's really a pity, since 
probably most LDAP-directories used to provide data for sympa would have 
such information available.

So basically, mocking up the names isn't possible in this specific 
situation and would solve only part of the problem.
