Just to clarify, I have an Object through GetBaseObject and want to put the name found under the Editor ID in a string. I did notice the cells and quests thing, but I need it for npcs. I was hoping there would be a way to compare the name to a certain string, as GetName doesn't give the right info.
In that case no. The EditorIds are otherwise converted to the numeric when the forms are compiled in the CS, and are no longer available in-game. The Cell name and Quest name are special cases, the first for supporting GetInCell, and the latter for console support.
