For whats it worth, that sounds like a perfect task for a standard
perl(1):

  $ perl -e 'use charnames();print charnames::viacode(0x1),\n'
  START OF HEADING

For you Unicoders the Unicode::Tussle stuff may also be of
interest, too [1][2].  (Just because i haven't seen it mentioned
on this list yet.)

Keep on going,

 I'm looking for a (preferably online) tool that converts Unicode

 do a lot of conversions, but not names.

If by online  you mean on the web then this isn't what you want, but
the uniname utility in my unidesc package converts characters to names. I
haven't yet updated the data but will soon.
