Only last name will appear in command bar i.e. this setname _mynameArray will display _mynameArray select 2. If setname is used with a string : this setname "blah", nothing occurs in command bar and default randomized name is displayed.
Dealing with the units' names in a script, _x (in a foreach units group, for example) will return the "object" as B ALFA 4-1:2 or the name written in ai unit name field in editor (if exists). This context is rather a "variable name" for each object (ai) than an "identity name" as given via setname function.
