Name imported modules after <name> in the pom

Question

I am using m2e to import an existing maven project. The problem I am having has to do with the Name Template. It gives examples of different combinations of the groupId, artifactId, and version but not the <name> tag from the pom. Is m2e not able to pick up that tag?

It appears that this is possible, both from own observation as from the following issue as reported:

You may upvote the issue.

However, since the name field is defined as being more of a conversational name, it often doesn't lend itself very well to be used for the project template. Clearly you're thinking of a usage of name that would be appropriate to be used in the project template, I get that.
