The regulations require that the name be displayed on the hull. They don't specifically state that the name may not be obstructed at times.

Park yourself on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway during the spring or fall snowbird season and count how many boats have dinghys stored on the stern and obstructing the boat's name.
