Hiding an actor's name

I've got an introduction scene in my game where a stranger breaks into your house, and until she introduces herself, I'd like her name to be "???" or something like that. How do you do something like this?

Here are some more details:

Mid conversation, her name may change from "???" to "Eva" after she introduces herself.

I might want more than one character to be named "???" because there will be more than one character you meet before you know their name.

BTW, I tried to search if anyone else asked this first, but when I searched for "hide name" it gave me 32 results where "hide" and "name" were in different parts of the sentence. Is there a way to search for a "phrase?" The advanced search didn't seem to describe a way to do this.

Hi,

This post explains how to use Display Name to do this. It also includes a link to an example scene.
