It would be the same as types of, but would have the names

Say if I wanted to pick and item of obj/item

obj/item
 test1
  name = "hobo"
 test2
  name = "super hobo"

world
  New()
    ..()
    for(var/types in typesof(/obj/item) - /obj/item)
      itemlist += types
var/list/itemlist = new()

mob
  var/list/test = new()
  Login()
    ..()
    var/temp = input("Which?")in list("Items")
    switch(temp)
      if("Items") test = itemlist
    temp = input("Which ?") in namesof(test)
    new temp(usr)


So that would instead of using typesof() you could use namesof()

This is the output with the typesof()

/obj/item/test1
//blah

This would be the output with the namesof()
hobo (/obj/item/test1)
super hobo//blah

proc/namesof(var/path = /atom)
     var/list/names = list()
     for(var/i in typesof(path))
          var/a = new i (null)
          names.Add(a.name)
          del a
     return names

Usage:
client
     Topic(href)
          if(copytext(href,1,2) == "*")
               for(var/i in typesof(/atom))
                    var/a = new i (null)
                    if(copytext(href,2,0) == a.name)
                         del a
                         new i (mob.x,mob.y,mob.z)
mob/verb/MakeObject()
     for(var/i in namesof(/obj))
          var/a = new i (null)
          src << "<a href=?*[a.name]>[a.name]</a>"


This might not actually work (it's untested,) but you should get the point. Good luck!
