When writing an ERB template, I know that I can define variables in my nodes

I'd like to know if there are any other predefined puppet variables
available. In specific, I'd like the node's name in the node definition.
node "foobar" {
include this
include that
}
I'd like to get "foobar". In my case, this is probably NOT the facter
variable fqdn or hostname.
I can't find this documented anywhere.
Any particular reason you're not using the node name as the hostname?
Nodes can either use the shortname or the fqdn.

These are managed hosting customers. The customer can change hostname at
will. We something that won't change, so we can find the server no
matter what. If I can't find a way to do this, I can visit each host in
the puppet config and stick the node name into a variable, but I was
hoping not to have to do/maintain that.
Question remains open. Does anybody know?
