Namecoin already has an id/ and a/ (alias) namespace for such use:

{ "name" : "id/pichler", "value" : 
"\"BM-GtK6TiTtVo9toGVdk2zy3t4jGXZyZeMH\"", "expires_in" : 29397 },
{ "name" : "id/pigeons", "value" : "{ bitcoin: 
1BekNv7ezkx8eAjdkrUta2BTp9bbxU9LGG, bitmessage: 
BM-opfhTsUKdTezPiWFHxRQtM1ZMDvjKMkHf, ripple: rnziParaNb8nsU4aruQ
dwYE3j5jUcqjzFm}", "expires_in" : 10089 },
{ "name" : "id/pisces", "value" : 
"\"BM-GtK6TiTtVo9toGVdk2zy3t4jGXZyZeMH\"", "expires_in" : 32034 },
{ "name" : "id/plattler", "value" : 
"\"BM-GtK6TiTtVo9toGVdk2zy3t4jGXZyZeMH\"", "expires_in" : 30999 },
{ "name" : "id/pope", "value" : "{\n   \"bitmessage\"    : 
\"BM-2D7L1Suh1choaKt321Le3bS6PT6nxfWqpR\"\n}", "expires_in" : 29765 },

It's popular enough that it's been squat spammed by a few actors 
recently, and several bitmessage IDs are there along with Bitcoin 
addresses, etc.
