Its not that you got a buffer of two on either side.

Steve: Captain America

vs

Steve (“Captain American”)

You’ve chosen just about the thickest possible buffer to separate name from bioname here. In each place it shows there’s slightly different effects to this choice speaking for and against it.

In look, this means you’ve reduced the space available for the short-desc before cutting or wrapping. Especially if you have other things in look you want added (i’m gonna hack it up to add idleness!)

In where its different, what you’ve done is just made it messy and hard to read because yes, if you’ve got more then 2 people in a room its likelt to make the names wrap. Only this has made it worse with 3 characters gone to waste. What looks worse? “Logan (“Wolverine”), Billy (“Wiccan”) Steve (“Captain<br/America”)” oe “Logan: Wolverine, Billy: Wiccan, Steve: Captain<br/American”… To me? Both look bad but the second one looks less awful.

Other places this is used will have their own nuances, there’s no global feel about this because it depends on surrounding context
