Human readable identities are the hardest part (unless you just mean BIP-style word chains). What’s your approach look like? How do you prevent collisions?

You register a DNS-style name. Registrations lasts a year with a 3 month post-expiration window to reregister, otherwise it gets released back. The system goes out of its way to make name trading uneconomical - specifically to work against speculators and name-sitters from coming in and ruining things.
