Your goal is not really clear: what do you want to achieve by that?

You don't. In simple terms, variable names only exist until compile-time.

If you want a "variable" to hold a value, you would normally keep such things in a Dictionary collection. It's not a true variable in the sense you're talking about, but the name entered becomes a "key" in the collection, pointing to the associated value, known as a key/value pair.
