I think what you might be looking for in no. 6 is:

I like to put a face to a name.

or, It's good to put a face to a name.

This is what people often say when they have had corrospondence with someone, or dealings on the phone, or some other kind of dealings, but have never met the person prior to their current meeting. Upon finally meeting the person, one might say, "How are you? It is so good to put a name to a face." The meaning is that it is good to know what the person you've been talking to or e-mailing with, or otherwise dealing with looks like instead of dealing with just the voice or typed word.
