You’d know by profile > copy npub > paste to draft.

You also know npubs confuse the hell out of everyone else unfamiliar with keypairs.

NIP05 is the best solution I see to date albeit it’s not used as standard, but you don’t like that either.

So what do you think is the solution to recognisable / human-readable identities?

Petnames? Maybe clients should allow you to rename your contacts to begin with. Some people have names that change all the time, it annoys me. And I know some people by names different from what they themselves write on their profile, so clients should allow me to rename them.

That’s a good point. I read that nip ages ago but no one has implemented it that I know of…

For example, I would rather have you named "erskingardner".

"JeffG" feels odd.
