This way it somehow starts working. Condition is that I have to call
`my-function-name' in the first `let' as otherwise the index would
change.

It is very useful however on my side. I can also get arguments to
function. I will use that for refresh and logging. 

(defun my-function-name ()
  (cadr (backtrace-frame 5)))

(defun my-aware-function ()
  (let ((my-name (my-function-name)))
    my-name))

(my-aware-function) ⇒ my-aware-function
