  Objects don't have names - so no that's not possible.

The name is simply a 'reference' to that object so you can make use of 
it. There can be multiple references to the same object:
     var a,b,c
     a = b = c = new Color

What's the 'name' of the new Color object?

If you are used to languages like 'C' then think of the names as 
pointers to the underlying object.

Hope that helps
Pete
