      begin ... end;
. end;
Name: begin ... end Name;

      loop ... end loop;
Name: loop ... end loop Name;

xxxx Name ... end [Name];
where xxxx is one of {package, task, function, procedure, protected, accept}

Only in the last rule the name is optional after end.

The following are not named, so they have no name after end:

    if ... end if;
  case ... end case;
select ... end select;
record ... end record;

For record, you could claim there is a name, but it's the type's name, and you 
do not have end for type ends.

Have I forgotten one pair?
