I'm thinking that you can't do that.. Please correct me if I'm wrong but you can only use the build in names like Papa Bear and so on.

I've always just put in

unit sidechat "(John Rambo) I love me!"

There's a way of setting your units ID through Description.ext! Check it out!

Alpha Black (Jonny) : "BLA BLA"

Where "jonny" is the unit's name

You could make a small addon included with the mission with a config.cpp something like this:


class CfgPatches
{
   class johnrambo
   {
      units[] = {};
      weapons[] = {};
      worlds[] = {};
      requiredVersion = 1.10;
   };
};
class CfgWorlds
{
   class GroupNameList
   {
      letters[] =
      {
         Johnrambo
      };
   };
   class GroupNames
   {
      // note: this is array of classes
      // it must not contain any non-class members
      class Johnrambo
      {
         name = "John Rambo";
         image = "a.paa";
      };
   };
};

just put this in a .pbo and you are ready to go.
