I think this is only possible if you have like a sprite for each name.

That idea was abandoned for a reason.

Being that you would need a sprite for each letter, that's 68 sprites (from that thread) every player would need to download.
Then, you have to take into account how many entities are being created to display each letter of each player's name.
I believe the max length of a player's name is around 30, so multiply that for 32 maximum players a server can have, and that's 960 entities just from sprites showing names.
Now, the maximum entity limit is WAY below that number, and even if you increased the maximum, you would still be getting a lot of bugs from that many entities going on.
You would most likely be getting a lot of lag too from those entities moving and the plugin calculating their positions to follow the player.

That's why it was abandoned.

i was thinking that it would be a hud message..or if it's not possible., i also thought that it would be a single sprite shown above head of player that is ally of friendly and it would be color green sprite., and the enemy does not have a sprite above his head, so it would be easy to recognize if it's an enemy..anyone make this?

I won't call it impossible but i highly doubt it. If somehow you can workout all the vector maths :S
