I want to give Eder a Ranger multiclass, so I've used console to give him a level in Ranger and added a Boar companion manually. Is there a way to give the Boar a name?

I can't find anything that would let you do this. The nearest thing is:

QueryPlayerForFeatureName

... but that's for islands.

I found a way! Not through the console, but apparently animal companions are also stored in characters.gamedatabundle, with their display name being a stringtable entry. Theoretically, it should be possible to make an animal companion identical to the vanilla ones in every aspect except for their name.
