Instead, you should pass around data items that
contain both the function and its name - either just pairs, [...]
or proper data types
...or both, using records:

   data NamedFunc a b = NamedFunc { nameOf :: String, apply :: (a->b) }

   f = NamedFunc "successor" (\x -> x+1)
   apply f 4
   => 5
   nameOf f
   => "successor"
