You can also add "Split animation" (in the FBXImporter press (+) sign under Split animations) and then you can specify a name for imported animation. Of course you will be force to specify start and end frames too...

you have to rename the animation in the inspector... select your file in the project tab and then in the inspector click where it says idle ... and add a new name. I think that if you add @ at the fbx file animation then the animation is imported with the name indicated. file@walk.fbx should create an animation called walk.

you select your file in the project folder, and then you go to the inspector and click the name of the animation ...
