normally you use window[name] like

var name ="bar"; 
window["foo"+name] = "bam!"; 
foobar; // "bam!"

function getmc (object, name) { 

    window[name] = function () {}; 
    window[name].prototype = object; 
    return new window[name](); 

}

but then

foo = function(){}; 
foobar = getmc(foo, "bar"); 
foobar; // ▶ window
foobar.name; // foo
x = new bar; x.name; // foo .. not even nija'ing the parameter works
