No, you can't. You're assuming that the name bound to an object is
somehow part of that object, but it isn't. What would happen if you
did this:

print(Hand())

There's no name, so you can't get that information. The only way to do
it would be to pass that to the Hand object, but you may as well
simply print it out separately.
