Calling variables with dynamic names

Question

so lets say theres 5 variables,
name1 = "james";
name2 = "billy";
name3 = "nilly";
name4 = "dilly";
name5 = "alfred";
is there any way to enumerate through those names by doing something like this...
for(i=1;i<6;i++){
System.out.println(["name"+i]) // where ["name"+i] uses variable name1, name2, name3 etc...
ending up with something like
james
billy
nilly
dilly
alfred
i know its possible to do it in some other programming languages, and if java can do it too, it'd be very useful to me.

woops - noticed I was in New To Java...
You can search for this, the question came up quite a bit some time back.
Use an implementation of Map (like HashMap) and call the put method with the name you want as a key and the value as a value. You can then call get with the name to get the value, or you can iterate over the key set to do what you're after.
Or, you could create a "Name" array (or List) and the you get "name0", let's say, by saying "name[0]" or nameList.get(0).
Make sense?
