One such obvious scheme that exists today is your host simply
routing packets out its tunnel interfaces resident on respective
Tor / I2P / Phantom IPv6 address space to some such services.

Then anything, or set of things with unique addressing amongst
them, can have some petname layer on top.

Really? Lol. You're not going to solve that even if you recreate
the non-anonymous internet. Petname strings in an anonymous
censor free system have no gatekeepers. As with the internet,
users will set up, choose, and duke it out in their own DNS for that
if they want it... on top of the provided secure network addressing.

Even being able to put/maintain *any* name out there will be hard.
