There is usually no point in dynamically generating local variable
names - which is what you are trying to attempt.  The reason is that
your code needs to use them before they are known - otherwise it
cannot see them.  Example:

09:35:55 ~$ ruby19 b.rb
name is foo
attempt 1
[:name, :e, :b, :foo]
123
attempt 2
[:name, :e, :b, :foo]
123
attempt 3
[:name, :e, :b, :foo]
123
09:35:57 ~$ cat -n b.rb
     1
     2  name='foo'
     3  puts "name is #{name}"
     4
     5  puts "attempt 1"
     6
     7
     8  begin
     9    eval "#{name}=123"
    10    p local_variables
    11    eval "puts #{name}"
    12  rescue Exception => e
    13    puts e
    14  end
    15
    16  puts "attempt 2"
    17
    18  b = binding
    19  eval "#{name}=123", b
    20  p local_variables
    21  eval "puts #{name}", b
    22
    23  puts "attempt 3"
    24
    25  foo=nil
    26  eval "#{name}=123"
    27  p local_variables
    28  eval "puts #{name}"
09:36:05 ~$

Note there are some special cases where it can make sense.  These
typically involve meta programming (e.g. ERB does it).

What are you trying to accomplish?

Kind regards
