 If it also generated a relay list and a URL that you would click and it would open a client with your nsec already set up there ready to be used I think this would be perfect.

 Maybe instead of prompting the user to assign a name you let the person who invites to pre-fill their name for them. So if I'm inviting Bob to Nostr I just give him a link that already sets his name to Bob.

Once Bob is using Nostr they can change their name as they please.

 We should also be able to pick a client so they get a link that prompts them to install a client as well as the rest above. If I could send an invite link by message that would get many invites out there.

 Perhaps they don't want to be doxxed from the get go.
We all know there's a good chance that what's in the nostr might never be erased.

But
Iris.to has a good solution. It assigns a random name (adjective+noun) to each nsec when they onboard. You can change the display name but the funny one remains.
