A possibility to setup "Synonyms" for when adding (or editing) 7TV Channel Emotes;
For example in case one adds «PepoG» to their Channel Emotes (with its original name "PepoG"), they might also want to additionally let that same Emote to show up when people use the phrase "DudeWhyYouWritingSuchALongMessageNowIHaftaReadForSoLong" – be it for an insider or just because it's funny to have one Emote for two different meanings depending on the Situation and allow people to therefore also use two different ways to actually use that Emote.

So instead of adding two different (yet identically looking) PepoG but one having an Alias "DudeWhyYouWritingSuchALongMessageNowIHaftaReadForSoLong" (which is also likely to require a duplicate to be uploaded to 7TV and who knows whether it will eventually be approved..), it would be awesome if we could just say that this Emote shall show up either when using its primary name ("PepoG" in this case or an Alias) OR when using a name setup as a «Synonym» ("DudeWhyYouWritingSuchALongMessageNowIHaftaReadForSoLong" in our case)

I've got this idea because I'm watching a Minecraft Streamer who – when playing a new World – often keeps his first Wooden Pickaxe for waaay too long.
I've recently had the idea to add a Minecraft Wooden Pickaxe to 7TV to use it on his Channel.
Yesterday, I've asked him how he would describe that Item «Wooden Pickaxe» and he responded:
"'Life Saver'. Or maybe 'Totem on Wish'"
So now, I'm having the Dilemma how to actually name that Emote; "LifeSaver" or "TotemOnWish" and ended up calling it "LifeSaverAkaTotemOnWish" (resp. with its German analogy)

Tbh I think it's easier to just upload two emotes with a different name. A synonym feature would probably rarely be used and it makes more sense to use an already existing workaround than building a feature which close to no one would use.
