Is name a reserved word in MySQL?

Question

Can I name a column name in my mysql tables?

Answer 1

Why not just try it?

mysql> select name from name;
+------+
| name |
+------+
|    1 |
+------+

Also you can quote any names with ``.

mysql> select `from` from `from`;
+------+
| from |
+------+
|    1 |
+------+
