gname for labelling lines in a plot

I want to use gname() to identify the lines of a plot with multiple lines.
I am trying to do it like this:
timeseries = rand(100,3); plot(timeseries); gname({'a','b','c'});
which doesn't work.
If I invert the matrix I can use gname() for labelling, however the plot is obscured:
timeseries = rand(100,3); plot(timeseries'); gname({'a','b','c'})
Would be nice if that could work somehow, I would like to plot hundreds of timeseries in one plot, but the colour labelling doesnt really help to identify them.

Maybe setting the ButtonDownFcn of each line to display the name somewhere would work? In this example, I change the axis title:
hax = axes;
changetext = @(str) title(hax, str);
hln = plot(1:3, rand(3,100));
for ii = 1:100
hln(ii).ButtonDownFcn = @(~,~) changetext(num2str(ii));
end

For that version, replace
hln(ii).ButtonDownFcn = @(~,~) changetext(num2str(ii));
with
set(hln(ii), 'ButtonDownFcn', @(~,~) changetext(num2str(ii)));
