//t$$anonymous$$s should be your existing line with player name stored
public string MyName;
//add t$$anonymous$$s line to same script where name stored and attach 3d text to t$$anonymous$$s in inspector
public TextMesh Text3D;
void Start()
{
    //now t$$anonymous$$s applies player name to 3d text. once. if you need to do it more times - repeat t$$anonymous$$s line wherever you need.
    Text3D.text = MyName;
}

i got this error:

The name 'Text3D' does not denote a valid type ('not found').

from this line:

var playername : Text3D;

Text3D here is a variable, you should use TextMesh instead

work's, but i got little problem: when i open two exe game files on the same computer (my computer), and the first player choose his name:"player1" and the second player choose his name:"player2". the problem is that when the first player spawned (connected) to the game, his name is really "player1", but when the second player spawned (connected) to the gme, the name of those both player's are "player2"! WHY?!
