Actually, the docs are correct here, although there is a nuance. The 
catch is that the name property never reports empty - if you call for 
the name of an object whose name is empty, it reports the ID instead.

Try it: set the name of an object to empty and then immediately query 
its name, and you'll get its ID instead. If you do it with a button, 
you can actually see that the button has no name.
