asset names aren't unique, only asset ids are. asset ids are unique because they are a hash of sha256(genesis_outpoint || asset_tag || asset_meta || output_index || asset_type), which includes the genesis output, which is unique.

how will the average user know the difference between a scam USD token and the real one? are we expecting apps to only allow certain tokens or users to recognize a unique avatar?

I would assume wallets will have the most popular tokens "hard coded" in. Stablecoin issuers might also be wise to list their asset IDs on their site, kind of how they list their Lightning node pubkeys today.
