Permanent NPC Names
So I want to name my horse Jack*ss, but when I do it only stays changed until the next time I fast travel or go into a city or something like that. Is there any way, using the setname command, to make the name change permanent?

I believe the correct syntax is as follows:

SetActorFullName Jack*ss

If you want a space between names, then put the name in quotes:

SetActorFullName "Major General Jack*ss"

The following screens are taken in two different places, using Fast travel. It worked when I reloaded my save too.

Okay, it's setactorfullname, not just setname. Explains why it kept deleting the change. Thank you very much for your help.

Shadowmere is a uniq horse and renaming this doesn't matter much.
But if we rename other non-unique one, every horse name will be changed.

Really? So if I name my black horse Jack*ss then all the black horses will be called Jack*ss? Interesting...

would that still be true for armored horses, knowing that giving them armor changes their formID?

I named the Yellow Team Champion in the Arena Bloodworks "That Grumpy B!tch" with setactorfullname. I'd guess it's the same way with animals.
