Dynamic function name in javascript?

by

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“.
