Indeed, there's an inconsistency between the code and the docs.

Since the "name" attribute doesn't really make sense for an in-memory file, I suggest fixing the docs.

How about empty string by default and optional __init__ parameter? Not perfect solution, but will make ContentFile substitutable for File in more places (​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liskov_substitution_principle)

I use ContentFile a lot in tests, where I don't want to touch file system if not needed. Having to check hasattr(file, 'name') is a bit frustrating.

The patch I've added gives ContentFile the same keyword argument for specifying a name that File has. If no name parameter is given, then the name attribute defaults to None, as it does in File.

Summary: ContentType does not have name attribute → ContentFile does not have name attribute

Renamed ticket so it's not confusing.
