I am not sure exactly what you mean with your question. If you have a named list and want to access the 'name' within the 'for' along with the value, then you can do something like this:
for (i in names(myList)){ value <- myList[[i]] # get the values plot(values, main=paste("Plot of", i)) } A little more clarification is need on your question.
