Being a programmer makes me fret a whole lot more about the use/mention distinction in written English. I am qntm. My name is "qntm". Note the quotes. It would be incorrect for me to write "My name is qntm" without quotes, because I am not my own name
Most people would not have a problem with me writing "My name is qntm" but that's because they don't spend every hour of their waking lives in a universe where a variable and a string containing the variable name are almost never the same thing
In that second tweet the quotes indicate the beginning and end of the text I would write, they are not part of the text itself
`My name is ${name}`
I very appreciate this. But I'm not sure I agree that it's incorrect, precisely because English doesn't strictly distinguish between use and mention.
But the context matters, and can change the meaning, regardless of the qualification. Many languages can interpolate variables inside quoted strings. Some can assume the quotes when used in the wrong context.
English has context-dependent implicit quasiquotation syntax, and the interpreter is a strong AI. Don't worry about it.
"My name is A. Proper Noun."
