Use
deparse(substitute(df))
Example from ?deparse:
function(x, y) {
plot(x, y, xlab=deparse(substitute(x)),
ylab=deparse(substitute(y)))
}

I've passed a data.frame as an input into a function which does some

the name of the data.frame so that it's clear as I compare these 16
things where each on came from.
So far I haven't found the right way to get the name of the data.frame
as a string which I can use in something like mtext. Is there one? If
I put dummy text in, or take the time to pass in the name by hand,
then I do get titles just as I'd like, but I'd far rather let the name
of the data.frame speak for itself.
Thanks,
Mark
