Name and appearance would be placed in scan response. Kernel already allows to 
set flags for this but for some reason this is not exposed in D-Bus.
This is similar to TX Power which is exposed in D-Bus API so you may look at 
this if you are willing to add support for name.

Also note that first instance controller by kernel should already have local 
name included in scan response.
