Users should be able to set the display_name property in the installed kernel.json at install time. This is handy when one wants to access multiple installations of a kernel (e.g., with conda-managed environments) from a GUI such as JupyterLab. I'd suggest following ipykernel and adding a --display-name parameter. Usage would be:
python -m octave_kernel install --name proj-octave --display-name "Octave in Proj"
At minimum, setting the display_name as the name would allow GUI users to distinguish between multiple installations of the same kernel. That's ipykernel default if no --display-name is passed.
