How can I display in the Inspector the variables names ?

        myLine.transform.position = start;
        myLine.AddComponent<LineRenderer>();
        LineRenderer lr = myLine.GetComponent<LineRenderer>();
        lr.material = new Material(Shader.Find("Particles/Alpha Blended Premultiply"));
        lr.startColor = color;
        lr.endColor = color;
        lr.startWidth = 0.03f;

    }

    private void OnGUI()
    {
        if (isSelecting)
        {
            // Create a rect from both mouse positions
            var rect = DrawRectangle.GetScreenRect(mousePosition1, Input.mousePosition);
            DrawRectangle.Utils.DrawScreenRect(rect, new Color(0.8f, 0.8f, 0.95f, 0.25f));
            DrawRectangle.Utils.DrawScreenRectBorder(rect, 2, new Color(0.8f, 0.8f, 0.95f));
        }
    }
}

Inside the method SpawnLineGenerator( Iā€™m giving name to each gameobject:

myLine.name = start.ToString();

The result is a name for example:

(-2.1, 3.4, 4.9)

But instead I want some how to make in the Inspector a name description and the start and end coordinates of the object for example in the Inspector:

v3FrontTopLeft, v3FrontTopRight (-2.1, 3.4, 4.9) , (-1.1, 3.4, 4.9)

Next

v3FrontTopRight, v3FrontBottomRight (1,1,1) , (2,2,2)

And so on. The variables names in the DrawBox method will be the description of each vector3 and the coordinates of it.

Not sure i understand your question.
What happens if you click on the objects (myLine) when they have been instantiated to the scene.
Can you see their name from there?
