The term "the instance name" is misleading, because it assumes, without 
saying so explicitly, that every instance has a unique name.

In fact, there is no reason that an instance needs to have a name at all, or 
that it should have only one.

You gave this example:

    instance_1 = class_1()
    instance_1.myName()

but what if I did this instead?

    class_1().myName()

Or this?

    instance_1 = class_1()
    instance_2 = instance_1
    instance_2.myName()
