Dynamic function name in javascript?

You can use Object.defineProperty as noted in the MDN JavaScript Reference:

var myName = "myName";
var f = function () { return true; };
Object.defineProperty(f, 'name', {value: myName, writable: false});

This will basically do it at the most simple level:

"use strict";
var name = "foo";
var func = new Function(
     "return function " + name + "(){ alert('sweet!')}"
)();

//call it, to test it
func();

If you want to get more fancy, I have a written an article on "Dynamic function names in JavaScript".
