Why such requirement at the first place? I can't consider this even as homework.

No.
You can't do that - it's just silly.
There is no mechanism in javascript (or any other language) to get the name of a variable holding an instance as a string.

Besides, even if you could, why would you want to? all you are doing is making the code less readable since you need to know the name of the variable at compile time in order to write the code to get the name of the variable!

JavaScript

var nameOfVariable = GetName(name);

Why not just cut out the middle man:

JavaScript

var nameOfVariable = "name";

You need to be a little more clearer I think in what it is you're attempting to solve.
Do you just wish to output a concatenated string, i.e. your string literal "I'm" and their input "I"?
I'm not sure what you wish to solve.
