What would be the advantage of adding names for PUA codepoints?  The 
disadvantage is clear: bloating the Emacs process memory footprint by some 
137,000 strings of some non-descriptive form, like PUA-CHARACTER-nn.

Btw, the names are not generated in mule-cmds.el, they are generated in 
unidata-gen.el.
