You can most certainly generate variable names on the fly, but most
likely you don't want to!
If you get into that habbit, you risk overwriting some of the built in
names or overwriting class attributes. Especially if you get user input.
So don't pick up that habbit.
lists and dicts are there so you don't have to.
