can i have just the workspace name on the i3bar, but in the i3/config, reference them with number? I want to have weird named, like icons, but in the config, it would be easier to have workspace 4 rather than workspace <some weird="" icon="">

Yes, I set mine up like so:

# customize workspace names
set $ws1 1: terminals
set $ws2 2: coding
set $ws3 3: design

then use them like so:

bindsym $mod+1 workspace $ws1
assign [class="Gimp"] $ws4
