Just received my wheels from the dealer last night and now trying to set up the cloud navigation destinations. I noticed that when I put in the address it doesn't give you anyway to put in a name to that address. Is there a way that I'm not seeing? I know on my last Toyota which was a 2017 Prius Prime there was a way to do that. How in the world are you supposed to remember which address goes with which name? Also, even in CarPlay, the same thing...no name only the address. Any help anybody can provide is greatly appreciated.

There is not a way as far as I could find. This is a downside over my stand alone Garmin.
You just have to remember that the "Chinese place" is at 101 5th Street, for example.
Someone told me a few weeks ago that you can use the Toyota App to send a destination, then rename it, but I could not get that to work.

Not sure what you mean by "CarPlay is the same thing". All CarPlay does is display what app is running on your iPhone onto the radio screen. Thus if you use Google Maps or Apple Maps on the iPhone, you have the full capability of those, which includes names with addresses, anything in your address book, or anything else that has a name.
Cloud navigation never worked for me. The clouds just move around too much. North star is was reliable but sun and clouds sometimes got in the way. Thomas Guides were better but hard to find these days. I hear there are new-fangled gadgets that use satellites and give you directions but with my wife giving directions in one ear and a device giving opposite directions in the other it was ripe for problems. I also hear these new mobile phones can help but I wouldn't want to trouble anybody for directions over the phone. Maybe some day cars will know which way to go. 
Sorry I can't help with your question.

Car Play, like Android Auto, can use Google Maps (among others like Waze) for navigation. Google Maps lets you save favorites, and using voice commands in the car you can call up a favorite destination by its name.
ETA: While viewing the Google map, a tap to the search window will open a list of recent destinations and various favorites if you have populated that list. IOW, it's easy to find places you've been and navigate there again.
