How to get the name of a object clicked 2D

Hello!
How would I get the name of the object I click on using a ray in 2D. (Not OnMouseOver())

(Please don't point me to other posts because I have looked at close to all of them but none of them have worked for me, and I want to be able to ask questions specific to my needs.)

Thank you!

 

Would OnMouseDown() suffice?

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public class AnObject : MonoBehavior {
3.  
4.    void OnMouseDown() {
5.       Debug.Log("You clicked: " + name);
6.    }
7. }
8.  

 

From the RaycastHit2D, you can access the collider/transform, and from there the gameObject.name.
Is that what you're asking?

Not sure you read every post on the subject.. I imagine that's got to be in some of them (not that that matters to me, it's just odd you'd say you read them all.)
