# `syntax.expected_name`

Expected a name.

Area 1, [Project layout and modules](../topics/project-layout-and-modules.md); not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

```jadpo
type Pair = Object {
    : Int
}
```

```text
error: This member has no name
 --> main.jadpo:2:5
  |
2 |     : Int
  |     ^ expected a name before `:`
  reason: Every member inside braces is `name: value`.
  next: Add the member's name before `:` (agent)
