This question is tricky to answer, do to the way things are bound in Clojure.
It is possible to get the name of a the symbol the fn is bound to, but the fn object itself has no name. Also, fn objects can't take metadata (but this is supposed to be fixed eventually), so what you are looking for isn't possible in native Clojure.
