Create a secondary name which is visible only to the GM for a token

In the advanced section in tokens, you can set it so that a player can see a token's name as well as their health bars and stuff, but it would be really useful if I could give my tokens a secret name, For example, I was DM'ing a battle with some skeletons, and I want the players to be able to read the "Skeleton" nameplate under the token, but it gets difficult to keep track with the turn tracker when I have 3 tokens all with the same sprite labelled "Skeleton". It would be much easier if I could have a secret name like Skeleton #1, Skeleton #2. Another example where a feature like this could be handy was when I was using a character which at that point in the campaign was just a scribe, (which is what I set his nameplate to) but the PC's later learned that the scribe NPC was a pivotal character in the game world. Just saying this feature could be useful for DM's who are using story stuff or complex battles with multiple identical tokens. 
I would really love this. When I use the same token for all of my enemy satyrs I have to know which one is the magic user, but don't want him to look different or bearing some other markings. Additional this hidden name have to move over to the turn order too.
