giving score using @e uses the uuid instead of name

so i know its kind of odd but i am trying to give a scoreboard to a villager with a custom name villager1, why i am trying this is so i can store score in the map instead of attaching it to players, so what i did is a made a villager with a custom name then i used /scoreboard players add @e[name=villager] test 1 , so all that worked but instead of the entity showing up as villager1 on the sidebar is showed up as a uuid the long string of numbers and after that i cant use a testfor like /testfor @e[name=villager1] , so this is not only a bug report but a suggestion it would be nice to be able to store and testfor score without having to use and rely on players and i know this is a odd and roundabout way of doing things but in theory it should work if all the bugs were cleared up
