What if everyone starts with the same unit but i wanted to make the units change models depending on their randomly selected names? I'm updating a LOAP map, i want the players to look different from each other.

You cannot change the model.
You can use something similar to the bear form to transform however, there are plenty of guides on how to do that trick properly.

I'd like to share with you one of the many lessons my life taught me - the harder you're trying to make yourself look clever, the more likely you are to end up making a fool out of yourself. Sadly, you and your response in this thread are a perfect example of that.
---
The functionality you mentioned was introduced in patch 1.32, which launched in January 2020. This thread was started and answered in October 2017, i.e. more than a year before we knew 1.32 was going to be a thing, let alone what it could contain. As such, at the time of writing his post, @Chaosy was absolutely correct.
You necroing this thread more than 3 years later to point out that he was "wrong", because he didn't suggest a solution that didn't exist back then and that he had no idea was coming, makes you look stupid. So, please, next time you want to be a smartass, do yourself a favor and check your facts first. Or better yet - don't be a smartass, because nobody likes them and if you want to be helpful to others by updating an outdated answer, do so without any clever remarks.

More importantly, changing the skin of a unit is not the same as changing a model.
