Not sure there is a big community in Stackoverflow so I will repeat it here.

How do I display the field/attribute names in the Dominator Tree? The information is cleary available if you look at the Inspector on the left-hand side.

Is there a setting somewhere which will allow me to display this information on the dominator tree tab?

The references in the dominator tree do not correspond one to one the real references. You may have a parent A and child B in the dom. tree, such that the parent does not have a direct reference to the child object; there may be a long chain of other references between them. The dominator tree expresses only, that all paths from the GC roots to B (the child object) go through A.
Therefore no field name is displayed. Use the path from GC roots to the child object to examine the real path/reference chain.
