mmh, it's possible. but it would make the knobs uglier for sure,
which would defeat the purpose ;-))

i myself use mostly small versions of [ol_knob] that would become an 
unreadable
mess, if they all showed its remote name.

about the vanilla GUIs: yes, you can print its send/receive name, but 
mostly people
use the label for user hints. meaning: a slider that's labeled "volume" 
is likely
to actually have a different, more cryptic s/r name, like "$0-vol" or 
"pl1_v".

if i should ever really forget what the remote name of my own UI is,
i right-click "open" it (after all it's just a PD patch with a GOP)
and have a look inside. it's written in a symbol
box and of course also in the window title bar (1st argument)

another thought about this:

how about a "safe" area on the knob surface (let's say the lower-right 
corner)
that prints out the remote name in the PD window when clicked ?

best
