## Description

Network Site Names lets you add custom site names to be shown in the admin bar menu.
Site names can be used to identify each site with a different name while using the
same Blog Title in the front end. This is useful for Multilanguage or Corporative
networks where many sites may need the same title.

This plugin is so small and simple that it can be installed as a [Must Use Plugin](https://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins)
without having to worry about updates. Read the Installation section for instructions.
