I'm not sure if this is a typo, but you're not setting *rval to the actual
name.  Brendan'll correct me if I'm wrong, but you probably want this:

    JSString *str;
    str = JS_NewString(cx, name, strlen(name));
    *rval = STRING_TO_JSVAL(str);

strlen() may not be right, but I don't recall C[++]'s string length function
:)  Also, it may not be right to create a new JSString for every function
call, but aside from making that a property of the object I don't know any C
solutions.
