No, you can't access the local variables' names using standard Java.

If you really need access to the name, you'll have to pass it as a constructor parameter, as specified in some of the comments. That would require you, however, to change your code to support this for each and every variable you declare.

I'm seriously scared to ask why you need this functionality.

class Player {
    private String name;

    public Player(String s) {
        name = s;
    }
}

Player huhu = new Player("huhu");

Notice that I'm capitalizing the name of the class.

You should always capitalize your class names.
