No, there isn't. That's why it is an anonymous method. The name is automatically generated by the compiler and guaranteed to be unique. If you want to get the calling method name you could pass it as argument:

public static void Main()
{
    Action a = name => Console.WriteLine(name);
    a(MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod().Name);
}

or if you really want a meaningful name you will need to provide it:

public static void Main()
{
    Action a = MeaningfullyNamedMethod;
    a();
}

static void MeaningfullyNamedMethod()
{
    Console.WriteLine(MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod().Name);
}
