OK, but in that case I think it should be a different parameter, since
'name' is supposed to be the literal name of the frame.

In general, setting frame names was supposed to be done manually for
each frame, giving them meaningful names.  A template assumes some
kind of automated naming, which was not the goal of this feature's
design (if frame names don't have to be meaningful, we already have
the Fnn names that are assigned automatically).
