Bug report

Would like to set name attribute of a mocked object directly when creating Mock() object.

Currently, the workaround is to do:

from unittest.mock import Mock

obj = Mock(x=1, y="val")
obj.name = "name"

instead of directly assigning the attribute in the constructor.

Has been mentioned in the Stack Overflow community before in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62552148/how-to-mock-name-attribute-with-unittest-mock-magicmock-or-mock-classes.

Affected code:

A suggestion would be to rename the current name attribute to mock_name.
