Default See if a Range Name exists?

Dear Gurus,
I need to find a way to inquire whether or no a given range name exists, without
generating and error. Something like:

If (Sheets("MySheet").Names("MyRangeName")) EXISTS then
DoSomething
End if

I tried
If IsError(Sheets("MySheet").Names("MyRangeName").Del ete) Then
DoSomething
End If

And many variations on that theme but this just generates the error as if I
said:
Sheets("MySheet").Names("MyRangeName").Delete
by itself when that name is not in existence.

The error that this does generate, "Application Defined" is so broad that
trapping it is not really an option, because it has such a large probability of
Beta Error, if you will.

So: is there some way to test and see if a given range name exists?
Thank You,
-plh
