Subject: stupid question: Object#name

hi all,

its time for stupid questions again :)

is there a way to get the name of an object, e.g.

test = MyClass.new
test.name #=> "test"

I know we have it for classes (and yes: I could use a subclass instead)

but is there a way to do it with objects?

btw. why didn't matz make Class and Object be the same thing?

kind greetings to all the rubyists.

(btw. I like ruby very much and using it as my primary programing language,
 but every now and then when using it I am feeling like a child on another   
planet. so the principal of least surprise didnt work for me at all (every
exploration was a big surprise, but a good one ))
