It's not possible to do that kind of reflection. Variable names could be erased by the compiler depending on debugging options and scope. The name of a variable is an alias of its "address" so can not be reversed (at least in Java and C# AFAIK).

An object can be pointed from nay variables, so the variable name is irrelevant and the object don't know this kind of stuff:

Cat tiger = new Cat();
Cat tiger2 = tiger;

Variable tiger2 points to the Cat "tiger", so 2 variable points same object with different names.

Use class properties passed in the constructor.
