How can I identify which follower is mine via the console?

Question

I was playing Skyrim and I had a follower in my service when, suddenly, he had disappeared into the thin air and now I can't find him anywhere. He has not left my service, so I can't recruit new followers.

The worst thing is that I do not know who my follower was. How can I use the console to find which follower is mine? Is it possible to list the IDs of all the followers so I can try to find him by trial and error?

I would try resting in a place for a couple of days. This happened to me before, and each time they showed up after a few hours.

You can try these steps to recover your follower:

Try the command set playerfollowercount <0 or 1> This command is helpful if you have lost a follower or are bugged. 0 clears followers and allows you to recruit again. 
Once you run this command please try fast travelling to a couple of places. That should give your follower enough time to go back to where they usually are found.
Try and recruit your follower where you found them initially. (NOTE: This might not work with Illia). More details here on Illia
If your follower has died please try this answer by Mark Trapp
Here is a comprehensive list of where your followers can be found or where to get them once they leave your service.
