public void SetName(Entity entity, FixedString64Bytes name)

Parameters

entity

Entity
The Entity object of the entity to name.

name

FixedString64Bytes
The name to assign. See remarks for caveats.

Remarks

Note that any 
System.String
names will implicitly cast to FixedString64Bytes. This conversion will throw, rather than truncate, if over capacity (61 characters). Thus, ensure your names fit, or manually truncate them first (via FixedStringMethods.CopyFromTruncated).
However, GameObjects converted to entities (via Baking) will have long names silently truncated.
For performance, entity names only exist when running in the Unity Editor.
