How to get function's name as string in Clojure?

Question

How can you get function\'s name as string in Clojure?

What I have so far doesn\'t look anywhere near idiomatic:

(defn fn-name
  [f]
  (first (re-find #\

For functions defined with the defn form:

user> (-> #'map meta :name)
map
user> (defn nothing [& _])
#'user/nothing
user> (-> #'nothing meta :name)
nothing

This requires access to the var, rather than just the function value the var holds.
