I'm wondering if the questioner really meant that he tried to define 'name' as an instance variable on the class side. If so, 'name' is definitely used. Go to the class side of the browser for some class and choose 'inst var refs' from the menu on the class list to see the names that are already used by superclasses. 'name' is one of those and is defined on the instance side of Class.
