You can do it just like any other data values. I have started using it
because ParaView likes it for its Extract Parts filter.

>From the vtkMultiOut3.cxx code:

  image = static_cast<vtkImageData*>(this->GetOutput(0));

  // Now name the first output.
  vtkCharArray *nameArray = vtkCharArray::New();
  nameArray->SetName("Name");
  char *str = nameArray->WritePointer(0, 20);
  sprintf(str, "Mandelbrot left");  // put your filename here
  image->GetFieldData()->AddArray(nameArray);
  nameArray->Delete();
