The skill icons and names of skills are shown on the same screen, the skills menu.

In fact, that's the only place the skills icons are seen, within that menu. Skill names are seen not only within that same menu, but on class mods in your inventory and when they drop from an enemy.

So in reality, you're quite wrong. Skill names are seen more often in every regard vs. the skill icons.
