Transform.name() is a convenience method which just returns the value of 
the Transform._name attribute which probably gets set upon instantiation of 
the Transform class.

Put some of this code in a script, set a breakpoint on it in WingIDE and 
step through the creation of the node and then the running of the name() 
method if you really want to see what PyMEL is doing underneath the hood.
