R: Put an object to a list with its name

I've created objects (within a for loop) and summarize them in a list at the end of each loop.

in1 = which(var1 == 1)
in2 = which(var1 == 2)
out1= which(var2 == 1)
out2= which(var2 == 2)
templist = list(in1, in2, out1, out2)

Every object in the list has no name now. I know I could fix this by using:

templist = list(name1 = in1, name2 = in2, name3 = out1, name4 = out2)

But I was wondering if there is as possibility to make this more automatically, like "taking the object's name as name of the list's element". In my opinion this seems obvious but to R it doesn't seem so obvious. I am sure there is a good reason for that, but anyway: Is there a fancy solution to automatically use the object's name as the element's name within the list?

What is templist? Is that a function? I couldn't find it. – JAQuent Mar 13 '18 at 15:41

By `templist(...)` do you mean `templist = list(...)`? Also, where do those names come from? How do you know that `out1` should get the name `name3`? – Gregor Thomas Mar 13 '18 at 15:43
The `tibble::lst` function does this. – MrFlick Mar 13 '18 at 15:43
Thanks for your answers and sorry for the mistake with the templist creation. @MrFlick just provided the answer I was looking for! thank you – Torsten Mar 14 '18 at 07:39
