Requiring the name to be displayed isn't going to do much for ordinary people. They mostly wouldn't look at it and even if they did, "continue as-is or no service for you" means they continue as-is.
Not sending the same value twice would prevent them from being correlated, but now what are you supposed to do when you run out? Running you out could even be the goal: You burn a token to get a cookie and now you can't clear your cookies or you'll be denied a new one since you're out of tokens.
