How to label credit cards in my wallet to distinguish them?

I have multiple credit cards from the same banking organization linked to my PayPal account. Is there a way to label the names with anything to help me easily distinguish one from the other? Consider two cards: BankXYZ Visa Card ending in <Removed> and BankXYZ Visa Card ending in <Removed>. To obviate the need to memorize yet another set of arcane account numbers, is there a way to further label them so I can tell which is which; say BankXYZ Personal Visa Card ending in <Removed>and BankXYZ Business Visa Card ending in <Removed>? Or even simply BankXYZ Visa Card A ending in <removed>and BankXYZ Visa Card B ending in <Removed>? (The latter would engage the mnemonic B is for Business, A must be for the other one.) I don't always have my physical wallet (credit cards within) with me when I'm at home sitting in front of my computer in pajamas. (My computer in pajamas has no pockets, but I don't wear either computers or pajamas.) Thus, I have limited places to store the original credit cards on/in my person to refer to their printed numbers. Sometimes I am working under less than ideal lighting conditions for reading small embossed numbers. (Refer to something called "night" in a dimly lit room.)
Most of my electronically payable accounts enable me to label the payment sources with a mnemonic; say, "Business Account" and "Personal Account." Why not PayPal?

The PayPal automated stupidity engine that trolls the Forum "decided" to edit my original post, removing the spurious account samples that I used to explain my issue. Then it sent a private email to me saying I had violated Forum policy by allegedly displaying my private information, adding insult to their obfuscation. I did not list any account numbers, certainly none from spurious BankXYZ.

So, don't believe any prattle about Artificial Intelligence being nearby.

I wish they could be so Diligent in solving the original issue to begin with! I can't believe PayPal does not have the feature to allow users to label their multiple credit cards or give them a nickname. It is very inconvenient to have to pull out your wallet and look through your cards to remember which one is the one I want to use for any given purchase. Saving the credit cards in my Paypal virtual wallet it is supposed to be convenient, and it's not if I have to go get my actual wallet every time anyway. Come on PayPal you got a fix this problem! It's easy and you have the power! Use it to help us out with this!

I'm always amazed to not have this very simple feature available.

I cannot count the number of times I paid with the wrong card 😞
