Can you have an object have the same name as a variable?

the better question is probably "should you have an object with the same name as a variable" lol. to keep things legible and to manage future confusion, probably best to make distinct names if possible.

The answer varies depending on which language are you working on

Depending on the language, an object is a type of variable, just like integers, arrays etc are. But the same is not so for key words.

That would be based on the language you are working on. You can and cannot. But avoid any form of confusion and to improve readability of your codes; I'd advice you make 'em distinct.

so if you use a case sensitive language and just change the case it would still work
