In Camera Properties / Video / Text and Graphic Overlays (where you selected the date and time overly) there is a box at the top that will overlay whatever you type in there. You would have to type in the name of the camera, it won't do it automatically. (Unless someone else knows of another trick!)

Blue Iris uses the following set of codes when formatting dates and times. Wherever it is appropriate to enter a date/time format string (such as when placing a text object over the captured image), you may embed these codes in any order you choose.
%aAbbreviated weekday name %AFull weekday name %bAbbreviated month name %BFull month name %cDate and time representation appropriate for locale%dDay of month as decimal number (01 – 31) %fFrames/second (FPS) for camera %HHour in 24-hour format (00 – 23) %IHour in 12-hour format (01 – 12) %jDay of year as decimal number (001 – 366) %kKilobytes/second (kB/s) for camera %mMonth as decimal number (01 – 12) %MMinute as decimal number (00 – 59) %pCurrent locale's A.M./P.M. indicator for 12-hour clock %SSecond as decimal number (00 – 59) %tMilliseconds as decimal number (000 – 999) %UWeek of year as decimal number, with Sunday as first day of week (00 – 53) %wWeekday as decimal number (0 – 6; Sunday is 0) %WWeek of year as decimal number, with Monday as first day of week (00 – 53) %xDate representation for current locale %XTime representation for current locale %yYear without century, as decimal number (00 – 99) %YYear with century, as decimal number %z, %ZTime-zone name or abbreviation; no characters if time zone is unknown %%Percent sign
for example on mine I have the following... "%f fps @ %k kBps"
From the help file under "Macros"
Camera-specific macros
There are a number of other formatting codes which are defined based on the camera context:
%f
The current FPS received from the camera
%k
The current bit rate in kBps received from the camera
%n
The most recent PTZ preset position sent to the camera
%P
The current profile number in effect for the camera
