I know health bars will be hidden for enemies but do we know if we can toggle our names off to hide who we are and our affiliation? The reason I wonder is because of the opportunity to attack a caravan indiscreetly or something of the like. It would allow for more rogue like gameplay. Obviously a potential double edged sword.

I think this is a much more interesting system than a little light bulb telling you what to do.
There's also all the interactions with node/guild wars members and "kill on sight" guild orders for other guild's members and other similar stuff, where hiding your name would either give you a huge advantage or just add disruption to the intended gameplay.
Now you could have different limitations on the system and enable its use only in particular situations, but then we gotta have a discussion of "how much should a super limited mechanic get developed, if at all". I could maybe see this kind of thing get implemented in a later expansion to spice up the somewhat stale regular gameplay, but not on release.
Having to stay on your toes and all that is great for games that are limited duration matches.
For an actual open world game where people may want to spend 8 hours or more at a time in game though (we all get days off, right?) it makes it hard work.
