The short answer is - you don't.   It can't be done.   The only things that you can have is stuff that is in the game already, like "HQ" or "November 1".   Can't remember how to do it but its in the FAQ in the Ed Depot.

There was a thread about this way back in September or October - try searching the forums.

The simplest workaround - which isn't very good but its better than nothing - is to start each message with your name, maybe in brackets.

unitname sidechat "(Chris) blah blah blah"

what then appears is

Alpha Black 1 "(Chris) blah blah blah"
