I have searched extensively on all the tutorials but I cannot find out how to add a name to my Marker. I have a marker array and want to display different names on every marker in rviz. Does anyone have any idea how this can be done.

I think I have to use interactive markers in order to add names to all markers. Is there any other way to do it because I dont want to make an interactive marker server and interactive marker file in order to just add names.

For each of your markers, you could publish another marker with type TEXT_VIEW_FACING at the same location as your original marker. As far as I know the TEXT_VIEW_FACING type displays the string in the marker.text field at the location specified in marker.pose.position.
