I don't think you can do this.

Variable names are incidental, essentially they're just pointers to the 
underlying object.

You can have more than one variable pointing to the same object, so any 
object could
have an infinite number of 'names' (theoretically).  Really, objects 
don't have a name,
variable names are just ways to help us remember which is which.

Why do you want to do this?
