If you want the unit to be named after the player (like naming a paldin Coolty44 when its picked) is impossible, but naming a player after a hero is possible, as mentioned above. Thought I'd say that just so you woudn't have to come on and explain either option you wanted.

i would name my hero bob. then my name would be bob. PIME TARADOX!
its impossible to change a hero's name, but its possible to change a player's name. similar to how my name becomes cookies4you (Ursa) when i choose ursa and it becomes jadegolem (Naix) when i choose naix. yes im jadegolem

...sadly, it is impossible.

{EDIT}
Don't worry, as Double Threading is a loophole, its not against the rules.

I guess ill just make a floating text above the character saying who it belongs to... It sux that its not possible... although I have seen a game where the characters name is changed to the players name... although that was in starcraft, and its map engine is SHIT!
