The effbot put it beautifully:

"The same way as you get the name of that cat you found on your porch:
the cat (object) itself cannot tell you its name, and it doesn't
really care -- so the only way to find out what it's called is to ask
all your neighbours (namespaces) if it's their cat (object) ... and
don't be surprised if you'll find that it's known by many names, or no
name at all!"
