Not being Christian, I'm still taking the liberty to comment ;)

I think this makes perfect sense.

It would be nice if one could verify the name immediately, but not to
have it as a requirement.

If the verification of the name is important for some feature, it could
very well be done by that feature whenever it kicks-in. E.g. shim6 does
begin to negotiate until 50(?) packets have been exchanged.
