Keep First Selected Layer’s Name When Merging

When merging layers in Photoshop, the resulting layer always takes the name of the topmost layer. Could you add an option for the merged layer to keep the name of the first selected layer instead? This would save time and avoid constant renaming.

Can you provide a screenshot of the before and after result that you are looking for?

 

Is this for 2, 3 or more layers? The "first selected layer" isn't clear.
