How can I get an item with the same name as the nearest player?
Something along the lines of:
/give @p diamond_sword 1 0 {display:{Name:@p}}
but this obviously is not working. How can I do this?

I spent I few hours researching this one! An answer by JooshNF:
This is not possible unless you know all the players who will press it. If so, you would need a setup like this;

Command 1: /execute @e[type=WitherSkull] ~ ~ ~ /testfor @p[name=(player's name),r=5]
Command 2: /setblock x y z command_block 0 replace {Command:"/give @p (item) 1 0 {display:{Name"(player's name)"}}}
To summon witherskull: /summon WitherSkull ~ ~ ~ {direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0]} So, this is basically impossible.

The other target selectors are \u201c@a\u201d for all players, \u201c@r\u201d for a random player, and \u201c@e\u201d will target all entities. Entities include everything that isn't a block, like monsters, snowballs, animals, and arrows.What does @R mean in Minecraft?
The @e target selector is used to target all entities in the game. This includes both players and mobs in the world. Notice that in this last example, we have used [type=enderman] to target only enderman. This value is called a target selector argument and allows us to filter the target.Give Named Items In Minecraft Using Commands | Xbox One, PS4, Windows 10, MCPE
