[R] Obtaining name of data frame used in a function argument

I'm writing a function that can take a data.frame as an argument. I'd like to be able to obtain the name of the data.frame and print it out within the function. My current function looks like this: examineIt-function(x) { print(nrow(x)) print(x[ceiling(runif(10)*nrow(x)),])
