Most of my friends are in multiple circles (a "friends" circle and a circle based on why I know them). If I set different display names for two circles, what does it display to someone in both of them?

If I had to guess, I'd say "use the name attached to the circle with fewer members", because I imagine a lot of people will have a few big circles for reading by content, and a number of small circles that represent their actual social circles.
