Hard to help as i do not have "y" and it definitelly is not a matrix as
you tried to pretend.
1. Try to look at structure of your y object by str(y)
2. Try to learn about how to extract parts of objects e.g. by reading
?"["
3. Try to use what you learned on your y object
4. If you still does not get what you want then make some example
which can be reproduced and ask again
> mat<-matrix(rnorm(12),3,4)
> dmat<-data.frame(mat)
> dimnames(dmat)
[[1]]
[1] "1" "2" "3"
[[2]]
[1] "X1" "X2" "X3" "X4"
> dimnames(dmat)[1]
[[1]]
[1] "1" "2" "3"
> dimnames(dmat)[1][1]
[[1]]
[1] "1" "2" "3"
> dimnames(dmat)[[1]][1]
[1] "1"
