True. Iris alleviates it by showing a checkmark based on social graph distance and hiding users that are not in your social graph at all.
However, that doesn't prevent someone in your social graph from changing their name and avatar to impersonate someone else.
Nip05 doesn't prevent that either, unless you notice the discrepancy between their nip05 and other details.
One solution would be that users publicly record the name and other details of other users at the time of follow. The details recorded by yourself and people you trust would be shown, even if the user changed it to something else.
