I Couldn't find a solution on Stack Overflow so here is a solution I found from ronaldcs on dforge.net: http://www.dforge.net/2013/01/27/how-to-get-the-name-of-an-instance-of-a-class-in-javascript/

myObject = function () {
  this.getName = function () {
    // search through the global object for a name that resolves to this object
    for (var name in window)
      if (window[name] == this)
        return name;
  };
};

Try it Out:

var o = new myObject(); 
alert(o.getName()); // alerts "o"
