Yes, "name" enables me to create the tunnel, things do get trickier
when I'm trying to bring the tunnel device up:

   # ip link set dev hel up
   Usage: ip link add [link DEV] [ name ] NAME
   [snip]
   # ip link set dev name hel up
   Usage: ip link add [link DEV] [ name ] NAME
   [snip]
Adding an address to the tunnel device on the other hand:

   ip addr add 2001:db8:a:a::2/64 dev hel
 is no issue.

Regards,
Wilhelm
