The simple way

Announce the names of each other when the connection is established
Provide a nickname input field (possibly within a popup)
Broadcast nickname changes
Display names in the participants' list

Pitfall: easy to impersonate

The less convenient way

Display names in the participant list alongside their channel ids
(?) Hash channel ids into colors and use them for displaying names

The bleeding-edge way

Generate a pub-pri key pair using the new Crypto API
Establish a localstorage-persisted address book of publickey-name pairs
- ...and a way to add users there, of course
Show an icon near those whose identity has been proven
