And here's why they are different: scope is a spacial property of a
name.  It simply determines where a name may be used.  Lifetime is a
temporal property of an object (at least in C) -- an object's lifetime
has a start time and an end time.  A name's scope is a portion of the
program text.  You can use a highlighter to mark up the scope of a name
in a point out of the program text.  You can mark up the lifetime of an
object on a time-line.  They are entirely different categories of thing.

You can confuse matters by co-mingling the ideas (since they are
connected in many cases) but it won't add clarity of talk about the
scope of an object or the lifetime of a name.
