You may have seen some PayNym’s with names or bot images that do not follow the standard format that Samourai Wallet typically generates. This is simply a manual change that the dev team kindly offer to make on the PayNym.is servers. Due to the manual nature of this change, the team does not make a habit of offering this as a request service and it has absolutlely zero to do with the underlying payment code.
Basically paynym != bip47. Paynym is just. Samourai developed off-spec extension to their bip47 implementation and the paynym directory is centralized in nature.
