player.setDatablock(defaultPlayerData); error

Every time that I begin a new game, I must set the name of the player over and over again. Once I quit, his name is not there. How do I make his name permanent?

You know how when you are on world editor and you change the name of an object? Well, when I exit the game, the name doesn't stay, I have to adjust it every time I start a game.

ok.wait.
may be in world editor u are selecting player.then in it's name field u are entering the name.that will not work.because there is a script line which do the naming of player.and it is only a show off name of player.not the name of the player object that you see in world editor.
do this:
press "~".(keyboard key which print ~)
in bottom of the console paste this :
$pref::Player::Name = "YOUR_NAME";
press enter
now quite to main menu and load the mission again.
press alt+c.
you will see your name on the top of the player
it only produce an error.
