Passing a variable name to be created within a function

Someone's bound to reply who knows how to do this and negate my answer... 
... but in short I don't know how and can't imagine why you'd want to. Any reason inparticular you're trying to do this? If the first parameter is, for example, a name you're passing to the script, it seems alot easier to me to just script name="$1" and call it a day.

motd.tail
MOTD.TAIL(5) Debian Administrator's Manual MOTD.TAIL(5) NAME
motd.tail - Template for building the system message of the day DESCRIPTION
On Debian systems, the system message of the day is rebuilt at each startup, in order to display an accurate information. /etc/motd.tail is the file to edit permanent changes to the message of the day. OVERVIEW
The initiation script /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh prepends a line containing information about the system to /etc/motd.tail and stores the resulting file in /var/run/motd. /etc/motd is a symbolic link to /var/run/motd. This is done to prevent changes to /etc as the system can not assume /etc to be writable. Changes to /etc/motd effectively end up in a file under /var/run which will be regenerated upon reboot. A symbolic link to a different file, such as /etc/motd.static disables this behaviour. FILES
