Like let me choose a color and a name for them, then, even if they're not mechanically useful, I'm suddenly way more attached to whichever specific Familiar.
Agree on choosing color and name, this would be a great way to add a little personality to your Familiar.
Removing the short rest restriction on Find Familiar will likely give a lot more usage to the spell.
My two cents concerning familiars is roll it back to 3.5e, or PF - summoning a familiar creates a non-combat creature that gives a small passive bonus to the caster. Raven familiar gives +1 to Perception checks, rat give +1 to CON saves, stuff like that.
Agree the developers should remove the short rest restriction and give the Familiar a small passive bonus to the caster.
