It's do-able, but it would be a huge resource running all the time just on the off chance you might type a name.
Every individual key stroke listened to and cross-referenced with names. Having words popping up you don't want. I can think of many words that start 'mor' or 'ind', having a name popup would be annoying for me.
Would most likely cause some typing latency too, because there are lots of names to check every time you press a key.
The thing is I don't think it would be an improvement, auto complete works in the right situations, like in a search box. My old school skill calcs use auto complete so I'm familiar with it. But here where names are common usage words, items or game related makes me think it would be of little benefit.
Edit:
There maybe other ways to get a name into the text area though.

But I'm still not sure about it, but the reply button would actually mean reply in this example.
