Home Assistant MQTT discovery never contains the device names, and response data below BTtoMQTT only randomly (and very infrequently) passes on the name.
A feature that caches names per MAC address and includes it with all messages coming from that MAC address (and updates the Home Assistant MQTT discovery to include the name) would be a rather nice feature to have.
As is all clients (Home Assistant, Node RED etc) have to utilize some kind of Mapping, and it makes debugging using MQTT Explorer or Masqott much harder when one needs to find the MAC address first.
