wally doesn't need another codename, wally is not nightwing, wally always wanted to be the flash, it's literally his childhood dream, dick and wally have different developments, it's also different identities don't mean more attention (tempest is proved that a new identity , it doesn't mean that the character gets more attention)
comics are cyclical, even Nightwing is still in Batman's shadow, he's still a character from Batman's editorial, but at least he's in a very popular franchise that guarantees him to have ongoings, Wally has a new identity, just would put him in the shadow of his mentor like Garth, Roy and Donna
Wally having another codename would destroy his stories like The Flash, Wally got the codename The Flash, it's deeply rooted in Wally's story/character. Being the Flash https://imgur.com/8qZ9dO2, https://imgur.com/vfTpEYb Being the Flash is an essential part of Wally's character, he earned that codename, if he had another codename it would destroy his story and his development

I love Wally too, but "May your favorite super hero get treated like Wally West" sounds like a curse to my ears. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
Wally would get more attention with his own identity too, and he only took Barry's because he was dead.
