A possible GNAT-independent implementation:

   with Ada.Tags;

   function Name return String is
      type Dummy is tagged limited null record;
      Result : String  := Ada.Tags.Expanded_Name (Dummy'Tag);
   begin
      return Result (Result'First..Result'Last - 11);
   end Name;

To be cut and pasted into each body where it has to be used.

[ Of course with generic instances the question becomes ambiguous. ]
