Happy Rigging!

and a Blender scripting tip using python list comprehension to set all data mesh names to match the object name tested in Blender 2.79 - which was helpful before exporting meshes to obj:

import bpy
def matchAllMeshDataAndObjectNames():
    """make meshes object names match data mesh name
    """
    meshObjects = [x for x in bpy.data.objects if x.type == 'MESH']
    for obj in meshObjects:
        if obj.name == obj.data.name:
            continue
        #match naming
        obj.data.name = obj.name
