It doesn't matter. Eventhough you Can get the names when decompiling (see other posts for details) those names are not used by the IL instruction Reading from or writing to variables/fields. The variables and fields are identified through a different construct. In the reflection.emit namespace these are represented by LocalBuilder (for a local variable or FieldBuild for fields) and to further stress the point: they don't even need to be explicitly named.
