MainMenu Script :

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class MainMenu : MonoBehaviour {

// Use this for initialization

public string characterToUse;

void Awake() {
	DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
}

void Start () {
	Destroy(GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player"));
	characterToUse = "None";
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

	//Getfromthe MenuGUI : if CharacterToUse = blablabla, this script loads certain scene and doesnt destroy on next scene;
	//Once the other Scene is loaded, make "CharacterToUse" = AlreadyUsing, as such it won't activate another character on load, thanks to the DontDestroyOnLoad
}

}

SceneLoader script(A.K.A the player name getter) :

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SceneCharLoad : MonoBehaviour {

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
	GameObject myLoader = GameObject.Find("TheLoader");
	myLoader.GetComponent<MainMenu>();
	myLoader.characterToUse.SetActive(true);
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

}

}

And Yes, i have made a prefab to use the MainMenu script on e.e

idk if it will work, but for now this is the answer :

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SceneCharLoad : MonoBehaviour {

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
	GameObject myLoader = GameObject.Find("TheLoader");
	string getCharacter = myLoader.GetComponent<MainMenu>().characterToUse;
	GameObject playerToUse = GameObject.Find(getCharacter);
	playerToUse.SetActive(true);
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

}

}
