C++, giving thread a "name"

Hey guys, I'm doing a mutli-threading in a maze which I'm able to do it already. Now all thats left is to name the thread which is created.
The problem is I don't really know how.
Let's say my first thread is call "POOH".
After the threads die.
It will create another new thread called "TIGGER".
I've stored the names into an array, now I kinda confused with naming the threads.
Any help will be appreciated thx everyone!!


This is my thread function
Code:
int callThread()
{
    //create 2 thread objects
    pthread_t t1, t2;
    //create 2 string msg
    string tN1 = "A new life have been born!!!";
    string tN2 = "A second life have been born!!!";
    //create 2 thread msg
    string * tM1 = &tN1;
    string * tM2 = &tN2;
    //create thread 1
    if(pthread_create(&t1, NULL, thread_func, tM1) != 0)
    {
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }
    //if not EXIT_FAILURE
    else
    {
        cout << tN1 << endl;
    }
    //create thread 2
    if(pthread_create(&t2, NULL, thread_func, tM2) != 0)
    {
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }
    //if not EXIT_FAILURE
    else
    {
        cout << tN2 << endl;
    }
    //Block thread 1 until thread 2 stop
    if(pthread_join(t1, NULL) != 0)
    {
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }
    //Block thread 2 until thread 1 stop
    if(pthread_join(t2, NULL) != 0)
    {
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }
    
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

My array
Code:
    const std::string THREAD_NAMES []    = {"POOH", "TIGGER", "ROO", "GOLPHER", "KANGA", "LUMPY", "OWL", "RABBIT", "PIGLET",
                                           "POOH0", "TIGGER0", "ROO0", "GOLPHER0", "KANGA0", "LUMPY0", "OWL0", "RABBIT0", "PIGLET0",
                                           "POOH1", "TIGGER1", "ROO1", "GOLPHER1", "KANGA1", "LUMPY1", "OWL1", "RABBIT1", "PIGLET1",
                                           "POOH2", "TIGGER2", "ROO2", "GOLPHER2", "KANGA2", "LUMPY2", "OWL2", "RABBIT2", "PIGLET2",
                                           "POOH3", "TIGGER3", "ROO3", "GOLPHER3", "KANGA3", "LUMPY3", "OWL3", "RABBIT3", "PIGLET3",
                                           "POOH4", "TIGGER4", "ROO4", "GOLPHER4", "KANGA4", "LUMPY4", "OWL4", "RABBIT4", "PIGLET4",
                                           "POOH5", "TIGGER5", "ROO5", "GOLPHER5", "KANGA5", "LUMPY5", "OWL5", "RABBIT5", "PIGLET5"
                                          };
