  Unfortunately, Metamask does not currently have a feature that allows you to set an address for a name. Each wallet address is generated randomly and cannot be changed. However, you can use a decentralized naming system like ENS (Ethereum Name Service) to assign a name to your wallet address. ENS allows you to register a domain name and link it to your wallet address, making it easier to remember and share. Keep in mind that ENS requires a small fee for registration and renewal.

  No, you cannot set an address for a name in Metamask. The address is generated based on your private key and cannot be changed. However, you can use a wallet nickname feature in some other wallets that allow you to assign a name to an address. For example, some mobile wallets have this feature, which can be convenient for managing multiple addresses.

  As an expert in the cryptocurrency industry, I can confirm that it is not currently possible to set an address for a name in Metamask. However, there are alternative solutions available. One option is to use a decentralized naming system like ENS, which allows you to assign a name to your wallet address. Another option is to use a wallet that supports nickname functionality. For example, BYDFi wallet offers a feature that allows you to assign a custom name to your wallet address. This can be useful for personalizing your address and making it easier to remember.
