Default Sheet Name to Fill Cell

I was just wondering if it is possible to fill a field with a sheet name. So
if my sheet is named John Doe, can cell A1 be prefilled with that name?


The book must be saved first

Click Insert Name Define
Put under "Names in workbook:": WSN
Put in the "Refers to:" box:
=MID(CELL("Filename",INDIRECT("A1")),FIND("]",CELL("Filename",INDIRECT("A1")))+1,32)
Click OK

The above defines WSN as a name we can use to refer to the sheetname in
formulas. It will auto-extract the sheetname implicitly. Technique came from
a post by Harlan.

Test it out:
In any sheet, in any cell, put: =WSN,
and that cell will return the sheet's name
