I had to figure this one out for a recent custom request. First, the name is part of the HP gauge field. They can't be seperated. Annoying, but true.
What I did to fix this was to create a window within the window, and then place that window ontop of where the name would appear. I then placed the needed variables within that window. It works quite well. You can see an example of this here:
