There's a setting for the pins in the library's "symbol" editor
"change visible" which lets you decide whether the pad and/or
pin names are visible in the schematic.  (of course, this means
that the pins have to have sensible names.)  Or you can write in
additional text wherever you want.  The provided libraries are
pretty inconsistent in ... pretty much every way, but you can
modify them as you see fit, or create your own.

As far as I know, there's no way to get the names to appear on
a schematic if the library wasn't set up that way.

Likewise, there's no way to get the names to appear on a board.
You're not supposed to NEED them on a board, cause all your
signal connections should have been set up in the schematic editor.
(you can make boards with no schematic, but it's not really designed
to do that, and it won't be very pleasant.)
